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.)

An Academic Look at OFC

As it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., "Oh Eff Cee"), OFC is classified as an initialism abbreviation. Initialisms are different to acronyms, which are spoken like words. OFC is typically used as an interjection. Interjections are words used to express feeling or sudden emotion. They can be standalone or used as part of a sentence (usually at the start). An interjection can end in an exclamation mark to express a particularly strong feeling or emotion.
