The structure is an exclamation borrowed from Norwegian and Scandinavian languages, particularly "uff da" (an expression of dismay or exhaustion), adjusted to "oofta" in English spelling. It is used in Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and the Upper Midwest to express surprise, frustration, exhaustion, or exasperation, often in response to heavy lifting, bad news, a long day, or overwhelming situations.
