Smurfing is a term that originated with vernacular used by the fictional characters known as The Smurfs. While speaking, Smurfs tend to replace a verb with some form of the word "smurf" (example: "I feel like smurfing some bread," instead of, "I feel like eating some bread").
It may also refer to:
- Structuring, a practice where transactions such as money transfers or drug purchases are conducted repeatedly in small amounts to avoid suspicion
- Smurfing in networking, also known as a Smurf attack
- In online gaming, smurfing happens when a player of a certain skill level will play under another persons or secondary account to appear to be a lower rank or skill level.
