FLUFF PIECES is a term used to describe pieces of writing that are light and entertaining, but not necessarily informative. BOAS is an acronym for 'Bits Of A Story', which are short stories or anecdotes that are often used in fluff pieces. LINT is an acronym for 'Light Interesting News Topics', which are topics that are interesting but not necessarily newsworthy. Together, BOAS and LINT are used to create fluff pieces.
