For those unfamiliar with "uff da", it's in Sami's signature. It's Norwegian in origin and is slang for "wow" or "drats" or various other things. Apparently it's used often in the US, but I had never heard it before the LG15 forums!
A simple search would reveal a number of forumites saying it! So I think it's time we all uff da in real life!
Today, in a meeting at work, someone gave me a new project that's going to give me a lot more work, and without even thinking, I said "uff da" and got some very strange looks!
Have you uff da'd today?

Bk, you're insane for starting a whole thread about uff da, but it's okay. 
I actually totally uff da'd today, because my professors decided to pile on the homework this week.

See! You should never be ashamed to ask a question, because if you don't know the answer, it's likely someone else doesn't either! 
Who'd a thunked it would have its own Wikipedia page?

I like this tread, BK I'm glad you're encourageing people to start uff da.
I just wanted to add the the first known use of 'uff da' on these forums where made by Chelseyrl in this tread:
http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7131&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=150
I was quite shoked/exited by the use of 'uff da'. At the time I had no idea it was used in America.
