'Uffda"
What the heck does that mean?
uff da: A multi use exclaimation. Comes from immigrants from Scandinavia during the early part of the 20th century. If you are surprised you say "Uff da", if you are disgusted you say "Uff da", over worked? "Uff da"

It's just a generic exclamation similar to your "OMG!"

It's all kind of relevant to what you are accustomed to ,as far as accents go.
Yes it is an exaggeration of the accent,but I see it happen to mine.
I'm from the deep south originally,moved to Iowa when I was about 13.
There was a huge difference in accents,it took me awhile to learn what they were saying,as well as my accent adjusting to theirs.
I eventually lost my southern accent after 8 years.
