- oofiness82%
Oofiness is a dated and now largely forgotten British slang noun meaning the quality or state of being wealthy, flush with cash, or financially comfortable. Derived from 'oof' (19th-century British slang for money, possibly from Yiddish), oofiness carries a slightly comic, archaic flavour. It would now only appear in historical fiction, period dramas, or deliberate retro pastiche.

- oofless75%
British slang, now mostly historical, meaning flat broke, skint, or seriously short of cash. If you're oofless, your wallet is empty and your bank account is painful to look at. The word derives from 'oof', which was Victorian-era slang for money. Being oofless was the natural opposite — having none of the stuff. While the term has faded from everyday use, it's a colourful piece of old London English with a pleasing ring to it.
