Etymology

Hef is slang for a young man who is 'charming', 'confident', or 'carefree'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of hef as made from 'he' plus a short, catchy ending and to link it with the famous nickname Hef used for Hugh Hefner, so it brings to mind a confident, social man and explains why a 'hef' behaves in a charming, carefree way.
