The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


ergative video game verb, "to kill". Equinox 10:54, 5 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

This term is definitely in usage (search "oofed" on YouTube as an example), though I think it's going to be difficult to find durably archived cites, as it's mainly used within the Roblox-playing community it seems, especially from a much younger demographic. See also Oof sound effect on Wikipedia and OOF on KnowYourMeme. AG202 (talk) 09:28, 6 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Does Oof Mean to Kill Someone?[edit]

Is oof a slang word that means to kill someone? EquinoxFan2022 (talk) 15:13, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

You have readded this sense, which previously failed RfV (see above), without adding any new citations. Please don't do that. 98.170.164.88 15:20, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Remove Roblox Etymology[edit]

Despite the Roblox-related definition being removed after failing RfV, Etymology 1 still claims that the word's usage was popularized by Roblox. I doubt there is a good citation for that. Can that be removed as well? 24.19.10.56 22:10, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
