The Quick Answer

OFC means "Of Course" or "Of F*cking Course."

More Detail...

The abbreviation OFC is typically used as an expression of agreement or as confirmation of a statement. When typed in upper case or followed by exclamation marks (e.g. OFC, ofc!), the letter "F" represents the expletive "f*cking." In this case, OFC usually expresses emphatic agreement. However, OFC can also be ironic or sarcastic, i.e., used to express exasperation. For example:

• Sam: Did you take out the trash?
• Polite Ali: OFC.
(Here, OFC means "Of Course.")

• Sam: Did you take out the trash?
• Rude Ali: OFC!
(Here, OFC means "Of F*cking Course" and probably expresses exasperation.)

• Sam: I'm sure I took out the trash.
• Ali: OFC you are.
(Here, OFC could mean "Of Course" or "Of F*cking Course" and is being used sarcastically.)
