Don't know if you ever heard of Urban dictionary but here's the link to fluff. Urban Dictionary: fluff
Not sure it represents what you wanted to say. In this instance I would probably use 'flounder' myself. Or using Aussie slang, you 'stuff it up' some times. I'm guessing what you were trying to portray in the presentation didn't come out the right way?
