(UK, regional) Daft; foolish.
Dafty is a fondly teasing Scottish and Northern English term for someone who acts daft — silly, foolish, a bit goofy, or not entirely in touch with reality. It's affectionate as often as it's critical; calling your mate a dafty after they've done something ridiculous is more of a laugh than an insult. It has the same warmth as 'numpty' or 'walloper' in Scottish speech — you're not crushing them, you're just gently pointing out that they've been an absolute numskull.
(ambitransitive, rare, chiefly, Scotland) To make or become daft.
