Pronunciation: [bˈɒft] (IPA) 
Boffed is a colloquial term that means to have sexual intercourse. It is often used informally and is considered a slang word. The pronunciation of "boffed" is written as /bɒft/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The "o" sounds like "ah" (as in "cock" or "hot") and the "ff" is pronounced as a voiceless bilabial fricative, which means air is forced through the lips without using the vocal cords.
Boffed is a slang term that originated in the early 20th century and has various meanings and connotations depending on the context in which it is used. It is most commonly associated with sexual innuendo or acting in a promiscuous manner, often referring to casual or one-time sexual encounters. In this sense, it is comparable to other slang terms such as "hooked up," "slept with," or "had sex with."
However, boffed can also be used to describe someone who has been physically hit, struck, or punched, often in a forceful or aggressive manner. In this context, it is similar to terms like "socked," "whacked," or "slugged." It emphasizes the act of being struck with significant impact or force.
Additionally, boffed can be used to describe someone who has been fooled, tricked, or deceived in some way, often in a playful or harmless manner. This usage is akin to terms like "fooled," "hoodwinked," or "tricked." It suggests that the person has been easily misled or made a fool of, usually without malicious intent.
Overall, the term boffed has evolved to encompass a range of meanings, primarily related to sexual activity, physical violence, or deceptive actions. Its colloquial and slang nature makes it more commonly used in informal or casual conversations rather than in formal settings.
The term "boffed" has its origins in American English slang. Its etymology can be traced back to the mid-20th century, specifically to the 1940s. "Boffed" is derived from the word "boff", which is a noun that originally meant a hard strike or blow. By extension, "boff" became a slang term for sexual intercourse in the 1940s. From there, the verb form "boffed" emerged, referring to engaging in sexual activity. The precise origin of "boff" as a slang term for sexual intercourse is uncertain, but it likely developed through euphemistic slang usage.
