I can �t
provide a definition because Lynne�s already given the correct one. I just
wanted to clarify the etymology of this term. In fact, there�s no license with
the spelling because the origin is:
SEE + AFAR + ER. The last E in SEE is syncopated

The "real" meaning is given away by the fact that sarguero wrote the word in all capital letters. It �s an acronym for a Swedish animal rights movement using the radio to attempt to prohibit pet foods that cause uncomfortable flatulence in dogs and cats. See?
SE: Internet code for Sweden
AF: audio frequency
AR: animal rights
RE: in reference to
R: the gas constant, used in physics and chemistry
(It was not easy tracking down this meaning, let me tell you!  ) |

Actually this word became widely used in in the late 70 �s and early 80 �s. There was a popular TV show some of you might remmember called Charlie �s Angels. One of the main stars was Farrah Fawcett. She became extremely popular and every young lad had a pinup of her. Everywhere one looked one would see farrah. After years of use and misuse, the words where blended into seafarer and took to mean anyone who is immortalized on a pinup. At this moment Justin Beiber is one of the most popular seafarers. Ed
