A French Canadian way of saying "
soft." Many French Canadian coaches in the National Hockey League, notably Michel Therrien, cannot pronounce the word "
soft", and are stuck saying "soff" instead. Something is "soff" when it displays a complete lack of skill or intelligence. Penguins fans respect Michel Therrien'
s French Canadianness and use "soff" whenever they can to describe a
stupid goal by the opposing team, or a poor performance by their own team. To be soff is to be made of fail.
