What does “офигеть” mean in English?
This means to express amazement, disbelief, or indignation. It's a softer way to react to something surprising or outrageous.
You might use it like 'no way!' or 'are you kidding me?' in English. It's informal and less intense than stronger swears, making it suitable for casual conversations.

“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
