We had a whole dictionary for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore \"tuff,\" there was bad, rad, wicked, phat, tight and sick, and every one of them was spelled with its actual letters.

It can also mean \"that’s rough,\" as in \"You failed the quiz? That’s tuff.\" It has been a hallway and TikTok staple for the last few years. Plenty of elders called cool things \"tough\" back in the day, so honestly this is less a new word and more a comeback tour with fewer letters.
