Yes, GAF is slang for house, but it is more commonly spelled gaff with double f, and gaf is the shortened texting version of that same slang word. In UK slang, Irish slang, and Australian slang, gaff is a very common everyday informal word meaning house, home, flat, apartment, or place where someone lives. For example, people say come back to my gaff meaning come to my house, we had a party at his gaff, is your gaff free meaning is your house empty of parents, or free gaff party meaning a party at a house where parents are away. The pronunciation is the same whether spelled gaff or gaf, with a short a as in cat. The origin is from 19th-century British Romani, thieves cant, and fairground slang where gaff meant a cheap theatre, fairground, or dwelling, and it became embedded in working-class English in London and Dublin. Today it is neutral, not offensive, and used widely by young people in the UK and Ireland, appearing in grime and drill lyrics and everyday conversation. The spelling gaf is frequently used in text messages, WhatsApp, and social media as shorthand for gaff because people drop the second f when typing quickly. So yes, GAF is slang for house in British and Irish slang, though in other contexts GAF can mean completely different things like the roofing manufacturer GAF Materials Corporation or German Air Force, so context determines meaning.
