(TA.) أُفِّ , [with its variants,] in its primary sense, denotes one's blowing at a thing that falls upon him, such as dust or ashes; or at the place, to remove therefrom what is annoying; therefore people say, at anything that they deem troublesome, or displeasing, or hateful, أُفِّ لَهُ [as though meaning A puff, or blast of breath, to it]: (Kt, T:) or [rather] it is a word imitative of a sound; [like ugh in English, both in sound and meaning; and in meaning like our interjections foh and faugh;] (Bd on the ex. in the Kur which will be found below, and TA;) denoting vexation, or distress of mind, or disgust; (Bd ubi suprà) or denoting contempt: (TA:) or it is a verbal noun, meaning I am vexed, or distressed in mind, or disgusted: (Bd ubi suprà:) or it is an imperative verbal noun [denoting disgust or abhorrence, like out, and away]: (IJ, M:) or he who says أُفَّا لَكَ uses it in the manner of an imprecation, like as one says وَيْلًا لِلْكَافِرِينَ ; and he who says أُفٌّ لَكَ puts it in the nom. case because of the ل , like as one says وَيْلٌ لِلْكَافِرِينَ ; and he who says أُفٍّ لَكَ puts it in the gen. case likening it to words imitative of sounds. (IAmb.) It is said in the Kur [xvii. 24], وَلَا تَقُلْ لَهُمَا أُفِّ , (T, S, TA,) or أُفٍّ , (TA, [in which other readings also are mentioned,]) [And say not thou to them (i. e. to thy father and mother) Ugh, &c.,] meaning, do not thou deem anything of their affairs burdensome, nor be contracted in bosom thereby, nor be rough, or harsh, or coarse, to them: (Kt, T:) or do not thou say to them anything expressive of the least disgust, when they have become old, but take upon thyself their service; أُفِّ signifying stink.
