Yes, the word ‘oof’ denotes a performance. The etymology dates back to early vaudeville days when Barker Malarkey used it to start the Famous Malarkey Family’s drag show…

Except that’s not true. That whole paragraph is a load of malarkey.

It’s a word. You don’t know the person involved and you’re making more awful assumptions based upon three letters.

Now, reverse it backward. Not only I don't know them, but neither they know me. Can you see the issue now?

There is such a thing as technical writing style and it is about the relevance of information pieces and the relations between them.
