'bof pas mal' (pronounced boff-pa-mal) means 'not bad' in response to 'cava?', which means 'how are you?'.

"bof" by itself, which is what was asked, is a statement of complete boredom, disinterest, "ennui".

"Would you like to see The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and Buddy Holly play in your living room tonight?'' "Marilyn Monroe in your bed tonight?"

"Bof"

It was allegedly originated by a character on some French tv show, who was always bored.

The correct french expression which the original author didn't get "quite right" is:

"ça va?" TWO (2) words, where the first "ç" with a cedille (the little hook under the letter) is pronounced soft. sort of like "sa va". The way it is written above, it would sound like "Kava"
