When you feel bad for someone but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s pretty funny
Person 1: my dad died
Person 2: oof
An Online Outrage Fiesta (OOF). Usually filled with unhealthy doses of sanctimony, pearl clutching, and certainty. Brings great joy to all involved, particularly social media companies, whose business models rely on OOFs to maximize engagement and profitability.
Virtue signaling conservative commentators whipped up quite an OOF when Dr. Seuss's family stopped publishing some poorly selling books that didn't age that well.
Expressing alarm, annoyance, or relief. Especialliy in videogmes such as roblox. Also said when you really cant be bothered to say anything intellectual.
*kid gets told off in your class*
You: OOF!
Oof means that you don’t know what to say but you have to at least say something
You- Sa dude what’s up?
Me-Oof
A word one uses (commonly by furries or e-girls) when they either can't be bothered or have the mental competence to sympathise with someone with trouble in their personal life, in reply to them seeking advice or help.
For contextual reference, the word 'oof' was derived from an internet meme, featuring the sound the player's avatar makes in the PC game 'ROBLOX' when they get killed. The original name of the meme, and the name of it's ACTUAL SOUND FILE was 'uuhhh' or 'uuhhh.wav'. This meme's name slowly changed into 'oof' after it was heavily popularised and became what is known as a 'dead' or 'normie' meme due to a mishearing, therefore making the word incorrect onomatopoeia for the sound.
Usage of the word is considered by some to be cute or, God forbid me saying this: 'quirky', but is mostly seen as a sign of insensitivity or ignorance towards a person's feelings.
Jonathan: Steve, I'm having a hard time with my parents right now. Could I talk to you about it just to get it off my chest? It'll mean a lot to me, man.
Steve: oof
Jonathan: ...
Steve: ...
Jonathan: ...We gonna talk about it or...?
Steve: r.i.p bro big oof xDDDDDD
Mostly the death sound of a game called “Roblox”. It is “Oof!” OOf is the death sound.
