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.
