What is oomfie?

Oomfie is a slang term primarily used on Twitter to refer to someone without directly mentioning their username. It's essentially a placeholder, often used when the speaker wants to talk about someone anonymously, usually in a teasing, joking, or slightly gossipy way.

The term's exact origin is unclear, but it's generally believed to have emerged within Black Twitter and the wider online community. It's considered a playful term and is often used in tweets that start with "Oomf said..." or "Oomf is...".

While typically harmless, the ambiguity of "oomfie" can sometimes lead to misinterpretations or confusion, especially if the context is unclear or if multiple people might think they are the subject of the tweet. The word is most often used with the purpose of Anonymity.
