The act of putting someone off with excuses; evading responsibility through deceptive means.
Present participle of 'fub,' formed with -ing to indicate an ongoing action or gerund used as a noun.
The gerund form makes it feel like an active process rather than a one-time event—fubbing is something people *do*, a strategy of avoidance. It's the verb made into something you can hold and examine.
