How to use fluff in a sentence?

1. Mark Bauerlein:

   Their stylistic tics are nonsensical fluff: 'Like ... Like ... Like ...,' sentences punctuated with 'N Stuff,' mindless clichés such as 'Omigod!' and 'Awesome.' In their writing, they aren't much better. Let's be clear about every standardized test score and every survey of teachers and employers: the writing of students and younger workers is a mess.

2. Charlotte Dell:

   It was fluff, but it made me think, `How could that translate to our residents with memory loss?' we're looking to see if we can set a positive tone for the day.

3. Joanna Hewitt:

   It has to be deeds, not words, what it’s easy to do is have some fluff - but what we want is hard numbers.

4. Ben Lewis:

   These stories offer comfort and escapism, it's something queer audiences haven't had a lot of. There has got to be room for fluff, for lack of a better term, and seeing queer representation in all genres, even where it hasn't been seen before.

5. Harry Reid:

   But there is no alternative. What he talks about is basically fluff, there is no alternative. What is the alternative? To have us alone? Have the international community walk away?

This is the diplomatic breakthrough that will go down in history as one of the biggest diplomatic moves in the history of the world.
