The abbreviation "OFC" most commonly stands for "of course" in texting and internet slang. It is used as a shorthand way to affirm something casually or quickly in conversation, especially in informal settings like texting or social media
. There is some controversy and dual usage around "OFC," as it can also stand for the more emphatic and profane phrase "of fucking course." This version is typically used in contexts where swearing is acceptable and the tone is more emphatic or informal
. However, the non-profane "of course" remains the most widely recognized and used meaning. In other contexts, "OFC" can have entirely different meanings, such as "original female character" in fanfiction, or various organizational and technical acronyms (e.g., Oceania Football Confederation, Oxygen-free copper), but these are less common in casual conversation
