I am British and I have never heard or read of anyone refering to Prince as Taffy. Taffy is a nickname that is sometimes used to refer to Welsh people. This is because the river Taff flows through the city of Cardiff, which is the capital of Wales.

Why is salt water taffy called salt water taffy?

2 theories: 1: The taffy became popular and was sold at the boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. So it became known as salt water taffy because of its proximity to the ocean. 2: A candy maker named David Bradley built his candy shop too close to the edge of the boardwalk (in Altlantic City, New Jersey as well) and a storm came and the ocean rose and flooded the store. Later a girl came by to buy some taffy, the frustrated candy maker Bradley Sarcastically called it salt water taffy. Later his mother or sister came by an encouraged him to keep the name.
