What Does OF Mean in a Text?

OF means "OnlyFans," "Oh F*ck!" and "Old Fart." It is a popular abbreviation, often searched for online. It's pretty obvious most people aren't looking for the definition of an exclamation, or for that of a friendly, old-fashioned insult, but here's more information about each of these three definitions, together with examples of use.

OnlyFans

OF is widely used with the meaning OnlyFans to refer to the popular subscription-based social media platform that allows content creators, including influencers, artists, and adult entertainers, to monetize their content through paid subscriptions.

Oh F*ck!

OF is often used as an interjection with the meaning "Oh F*ck!" It is used to express an emotion such as shock, regret, or sympathy. Of interest, these were reported to be the last words of the author Roald Dahl. Here are some examples of it being used in conversations:

Nick: I just found your boxers under the passenger seat of my girlfriend's car.
Lee: OF! Ermm, they must be the ones that were stolen from the laundry.

Chris: Sam and I have broken up.
Robin: OF! I'm so sorry. Do you mind if I make a move?

Old Fart

OF is also used with the meaning "Old Fart." In this context, it is a friendly insult typically used in jest to poke fun at someone who is older than the sender or, in the opinion of the sender, is being too sensible. For example:

Ali: Did you ride today?
Sam: Yep. Forty miles with 5221 feet of climbing.
Ali: Not bad for an OF.

Toni: Are you coming to the party this weekend?
Jo: I can't. I have work on Monday and I don't want to go in with a hangover.
