The afrikaans word is "afval" which actually means to fall off. But it would sound funny to talk about offal as falloff? (They can call it whatever I dont eat!)

Its an old English name from the 14th century and I find nothing wrong with the word.Another word to replace it is very hard to think of.

The Vulture, by Roger Eckersley.
Whats wrong with the vulture
Is its lack of culture
It's offal with offal.
Couldnt resist that one. I love nonsense poetry.
That definition of offal is off. We use it to refer to the bits you CAN eat. Liver, heart, kidneys etc.Thats how cookery books refer to it.+5

Nope..what's awful is what offal describes. :(

Klein's claims the origins of "okay" are uncertain or apocryphal (the latter referring to "Old Kinderhook" in US history). What chance that its origin is literal: from Langue d'oc, the form of French named for its use of OC (OK) instead of OUI as "YES"?

What's the origin of the word "ok" or where did it come from, did it have any previous meanings or was it an abbreviation?

You're reading Would it be phonetically accurate to say that OFFAL is an "awful-sounding" word?
