A pun on "Opera Buffa" (an operatic trend in the 18th and 19th centuries toward a more relaxed mode of opera, often containing humor, such as "The Magic Flute"): "Opera Boofa" is a seriocomic, probably unintentional, portrayal of violative behavior or anal insertion of drugs or spirits under less-than-ideal circumstances.
-- "Did you see that guy testify on TV at the Judiciary Committee hearings?"
-- "Yeah -- the first day was pretty steady -- when he showed up again he got so overwrought denying things that it became pure "Opera Boofa."
"Ouch."
When two people care a lot about each other, but aren't ready, or don't feel strong enough to declare that they "love" each other, they can declare they boofa du as an alternative but less strongly insulated statement. It still expresses the deep attachment and bond that two people hold, and that the two mean a lot to each other, just not to the extent of declaring "love" to someone.
"Baby I think I'm ready to say the magic words!"
"I-I love you?!?"
"No silly, Boofa Du baby, I'm not ready for that, but I'm still really attracted to you."
