less than buff
not attractive
Urban Dictionary, as pointed out to me by Brian McDougall
6. buff
242 up, 191 down
when a man/gal is well attractive they is defined as "buff," meaning they is very sexy, and you know you definitely would.
"wagwan stacey, have you seen my new mans, he's well buff, innit?"
"Nah man, your blokes butters, trust."
Como "buff" quiere decir "atractivo" en este caso, "less than buff" quiere decir "menos que atractivo"
Mike :)

La idea es que la Britney se veía un poco desmejorada, algo 'repuestita', aunque la palabra "buff" quiere decir 'buena' (fisicamente)
