You might be a “Southie” if...

Also, there may be several different pronunciations depending on who you’re talking to: uff da, ooffta, woofda, etc. They may even occasionally come from the the same person depending on the circumstances… personally, uff da is when you have a large exhausting task ahead of you. And ooffta is when you just ran into a table. Now I know, I know. I’m not a northerner, we’ve already established that, however, it is a commonly used term in the more northern south.
These are Southie pronunciation of a truly Northern word. I appreciate your playing along, but a Southie you naturally screwed it up.
 
Uff Da is an expression. It can mean a ton of things.. here are some examples..


Maury: my wife is pregnant, but my girlfriend is too.

Me; uff dah ( in the you are screwed tone)



When lifting something heavy and you feel a pull in your gut or groin, that is a proper time to say uff da with a painful tone.



If the Pastor is telling the congregation how great they did on a charity drive..

The proper response is “uff da” in a happy tone.

If you shoot a big buck or land a huge fish then the word “uff da” should be used.

When I stretch my knee and it cramps, that’s the time for uff da.


Does this help?
YES! Love it, THANKS!

I might use woofda if the dog tips over the trash....🐕
 
So a Southie?
