Hi, Hiba.

1. Can you please complete your profile? It will help people answer you appropriately.
2. When people go to the trouble of answering your questions, please show your appreciation, using words or votes.
3. When you want a translation -- particularly of something that's not in the dictionary -- context will help. Can you tell us where you saw "buff!"?

I'm guessing that buff was used like uf. Perhaps it could be translated as ugh, yikes, whoa. But without context, who knows?

I'm with Jtaniel on this one. I usually see it written as "bff!" and it's like when you shrug your shoulders. Except in written form obviously.

Wow, es la primera vez que oigo esto.

No se usa en España, ni se oye.

Here in Spain the explanation above makes no sense, I have never heard this before.

Buff in Spain is an expression , exactly like jtaniel explained.
