"Fluffs"

In the first line of the play the 1st Lineman says "And that's exactly what we got to come to, whether a lot of old fluffs back east like it or not"(6)

What exactly is meant by "fluff"? In rehearsal we wondering if it had the connotation of "fag."  It doesn't.  Here, in this line, it means more like "old fart" but it could also be a somewhat dismissive colloquial term for a young woman, but that was usually said as "a bit of a fluff."
