biff: /bif/, vt. [now rare] To notify someone of incoming mail. From the BSD utility
biff(1),
which was in turn named after a friendly dog who used to chase frisbees in
the halls at UCB while 4.2BSD was in development. There was a legend that
it had a habit of barking whenever the mailman came, but the author of
biff says this is not true. No relation to
B1FF.
