      As someone who was At The Time, let me tell you. It literally meant 'butt fuck'. There's a line in the song "Valley Girl" (from 1982) about "Mister Bu-Fu": https://genius.com/Frank-zappa-valley-girl-lyrics … But figuratively meant 'screwed up' or 'screwed over'. "Man, I totally boofed that midterm!"

      Teenagers at the time generally had a rough grasp (so to speak) of the first definition, but it was almost always used in the latter sense.

      I myself never once heard the phrase. I've got friends who say that they used it in definition 1, never heard of def 2. Others used it in def 2, never heard of def 1. Others knew both. My take home: without a French Academy of Language, idea there's One Right Answer is crazy

          I think it went nationwide because "Valley Girl" was a hit, but the inferred meaning (there being no Interwebs to look up this stuff on) probably varied widely.

          I am very very angry at the left re this particular debate. "I used it to mean X" + "I used it to mean Y" could yield "huh. That's odd. Let me gather more data." but, no, it leads to "HE IS A PROVEN, STONE-FACED LIAR". Somehow I'm more worked up about this than the rest of it

          it's new to me too but I buy "screw up" because it's got a plausible onomatopoeia to it and I'm inclined to believe "buttfuck" bc it's in the venerable pattern of "fuck" terms evolving into "fuck up" terms & yr take-home is ofc 100% correct in this and all other cases

          oh no so, I got curious about a regionalism I know was used in my jr high & has been independently confirmed in the wild once or twice, but seems otherwise largely unheard-of and so I googled and ... oh NOpic.twitter.com/WfzKLxUssr
