💡
Cultural Note
Verlan of 'fou' (crazy) — just flip it and you get 'ouf.' It can be positive ('that trick was ouf!') or negative ('you're ouf for quitting your job'). Not to be confused with the interjection 'ouf!' which means 'phew!' — context is everything. When a French person says 'c'est ouf,' they could be amazed at a sunset or horrified at your cooking.
