Asshuffer...well that is more difficult. Someone likened it to Zen. You have an idea of what it is and then one day you wake up understanding it (again who said that one?). It has been said to be the biggest insult a db can give. It includes amoung other things not drinking, giving us usually peaceful drunks a hard time etc. For another definition check out Oso's h/page and look at his paper on deviant behavior.
[Scene: Zen Buddhist temple, or something]
[Initiate]: "Master, what is an asshuffer?"
[Master]: "Have you had breakfast yet?"
[Initiate]: "Er, yes..."
[Master]: "Then you're an asshuffer! All us other monks are too frigging hung to eat breakfast. Huffer!"
[Initiate]: "But..."
[Master]: "Yeah, and I bet you were expecting some big incomprehensible Mind-o-rama Zen answer, weren't you? (slap) Get your vodkas in now! The meaning of asshuffer is you, and the meaning of Zen is practice, or one tree with the clap, or something."
Canadian notes:
I don't think that not drinking makes someone an asshuffer. Now, not drinking when you're not disgustingly hung over, or the designated driver (poor sod), or something is definitely a nominating vote for hufferdom.
