What does Uffda mean? Uffda is an exclamation of Norwegian origin that is relatively common in the Upper Midwestern states of the U.S., meaning roughly “drats”, “oops” or “ouch”, especially if the “ouch” is an empathetic one. The “U” is usually pronounced with a long [u] sound, as in “snooze”. (more)
