For those unfamiliar with "
uff da", it's in Sami's signature. It's Norwegian in origin and is slang for "wow" or "drats" or various other things. Apparently it's used often in the US, but I had never heard it before the LG15 forums!
A simple search would reveal a number of forumites saying it! So I think it's time we all uff da in real life!
Today, in a meeting at work, someone gave me a new project that's going to give me a lot more work, and without even thinking, I said "uff da" and got some very strange looks!
Have you uff da'd today?

Bk, you're insane for starting a whole thread about uff da, but it's okay.
I actually totally uff da'd today, because my professors decided to pile on the homework this week.

BK, are you pyschic? Seriously. I spent half of the day wondering what uff da meant and I almost PMed Sami about it but I felt silly. Thanks for this post!

See! You should never be ashamed to ask a question, because if you don't know the answer, it's likely someone else doesn't either!
Who'd a thunked it would have its own Wikipedia page?

I like this tread, BK
I'm glad you're encourageing people to start uff da.
I just wanted to add the the first known use of 'uff da' on these forums where made by Chelseyrl in this tread:
http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewt ... &start=150
I was quite shoked/exited by the use of 'uff da'. At the time I had no idea it was used in America.
