Ouf Examples?
4.6BRAINROT SCOREouf French slang adjective and noun meaning crazy, which in youth speech also works as praise for something amazing or hard to believe (« c'est ouf », « un truc de ouf »). It is usually invariable. This entry covers the verlan sense; the unrelated standard interjection « ouf ! » expressing relief is a different, much older word.
Origin:Wiktionnaire records two separate words spelled « ouf »: an onomatopoeic interjection of relief attested from the 16th century, and an adjective and noun that are verlan of « fou » (crazy), labelled familiar. It gives the examples « ce type est trop ouf » (crazy) and « le concert était ouf ! » (great), and the derivatives « de ouf » and « oufissime ». The date of the verlan sense is not given, so no dated first use is documented.
First Seen:Unknown (no dated first use of the verlan sense is documented; the relief interjection is a separate word attested from the 16th century)
