About

Origin
While finding the first post to use the image remains a murky task at best, the earliest traced post to use it would be Twitter user @phrenic31 in September 1, 2019. The image's effect is derived from the load size dial of a washing machine.
Meaning

"Oof" is commonly used as an exclamation of understanding just how much of a screw-up or train wreck some scenario was or is anticipated to be.

- A teenager discovering that his condom had holes in it after engaging in coitus.
