Oomf is a deliberately ambiguous reference to a specific person on your timeline. The vagueness is the point — it lets you talk about someone (or to someone) without tagging them, naming them or making the reference obvious.
Most common on X (Twitter) and TikTok, where it works as both a noun (“oomf is so funny”) and a vague direct address (“oomf please reply to my dm”).
Variants: ofmf (“one of my friends”), oomfie (a softer, affectionate form).
