Contexto (dead body/man talking):
...y luego me enviaron a un sitio muy silencioso donde reposé durante unas cuentas horas. Supongo que este sitio sería el crematorio.
- ¡Uy! ¡Aquí alguien se ha bufado!
Lo vi todo ardiendo. A la mierda de sábana que me habían puesto. A la tela que cubría aquel ataúd cutre seguramente encargado por mi suegra. Luego me vi a mi. Vi como se derretía la carne.
Gracias,
Barbara

Damn! Someone cut a fart!
Another way to say the same thing.
Example sentence:
She giggled when someone cut a fart at the dinner table, and then she'd say, “excuse me” and roll her eyes.
If someone cut a fart next to me on the elliptical I would be pretty annoyed especially if it was a stinky one!

: That's what I immediately thought but I couldn't find any convincing references. It means fart in Portuguese http://www.wordreference.com/ptes/bufar

Gracias, Helena. The same here, but I did find references in Spanish, but we don't say it like that here.

: Yes, I guess that's it. But I would avoid "shit" or "damn" and go for: Yuck! For "Uy", see also the 2nd meaning at: http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=uy. Google: "¿por que te has bufado? no se puede respirar"
