For example, if I'm trying to invite people to a REALLY fun party and use the word "teuf" - does it apply?

I'm trying to name a party store - but I really don't like "Boom" for my store...

Yes "le teuf" would work for "the party" , though I've heard the word "la fête" used a lot more often than "teuf".
"Un boom" is used for pre-teen parties, I was told once you are 16 years old no one goes to "booms" anylonger.
The word "la partie" in French does NOT refer to "a fun party" in English, it means "a part" (like "this part of the house" -- "cette partie de la maison") or a match/game (like "a game of chess" -- "une partie d'échecs")
Just as a sidenote: I'm refering to France French, it might very well be different in other dialects of French.

I always thought the French word for party was un boom or une boom or whatever.
But that doesn't sound very French to me?
Perhaps I imagined it.

Party in English is "partie" in French.

Une teuf does work as "party" in French

we rather use the word "toff" (not teuf) to say that something is hard to do for exemple (tought in english). In France, like others said, they use the world "boom"; in french-canadian, they use simply "party" like in english.
