"uffish" isn't defined, so this can only be referring to

Jaberwocky, in which case the obvious answer is Bandersnatch

.

After that, I'd have to say that I currently using most of my uffish thought on Calculus III, which isn't on the list.

No, no, no! The frumious Bandersnatch is to be shunned, not hunted! Does nobody read the classics anymore? You might as well hunt a Jub Jub Bird! The prey to be sought is none other than the Jabberwock itself. Which I just happen to have as a pet, and I'll thank you not to hunt him. (alas, poor Frumious Bandersnatch passed away early this year)

If there were a "right answer", you have got it, and for the right reasons. Good job. ;) ...just a little fun. Sorry to those who didn't like it. I intentionally posed it as a riddle, hoping some would dig in and figure out (based on those strange words) what the poll refers to.
