this ofay at my job is jealous of my ability to get the job done faster and better than him. but he can’t help his ofay ways.
disparaging term for a caucasian.
you big-haired trashy macaroni-and-cheese-eatin’ ofay b-tch!
insult to a white person from a black person meaning punk, cracker, b-tch.
that ofey is p-ssing me of
still a mystery as to the origin of the word. it almost certainly isn’t gullah of west african. it almost certainly isn’t from “foe” in pig latin as that form of “pig latin” didn’t really start until 1920 and “ofay” was around from at least the 1890s. it usually wasn’t used in a derogatory way about whites, but rather just as a matter of fact expression. quite often used in early black newspapers in columns written about theatrical performers and that the “ofay” owned the theater in which the black performers, er uh, performed.
it is really the most beautiful city of its kind in the south. it has all modern conveniences, electrical effects, etc, is situated near the harbor and the audiences are all ofays, princ-p-lly foreigners.
french for punk, cracker, b-tch
