*stares at you impatiently*

Scoff

Yes you would

next question you fuck

>language is dynamic and any other notion is self-defeating to the very concept of language, yet retards will still argue over it like pig-disgusting militant prescriptivists

woah

Scarf?

'Dynamic' as in a Hegelian dialectic between the forces of change and conservatism; the Americans here being the former, Brits the latter.

Both are fine, although no one would know what the fuck an American was talking about in Britain. So business as usual.

>sclrf (v)
To consume food together with the package or dish on which it is served and without overly chewing.

Marvin sclrfed the orangutan souffle on his lunch break. He felt satisfied.

See also devour.

Dumb Americans, a scarf is an item of clothing

Is this word actually used in literature? I can't remember the last time I saw it outside Redwall.

Scoff? Very common in British English.

>your probably a retard

>although no one would know what the fuck an American was talking about in Britain
I see you are American.

British, actually.

If an American said 'I just scarffed my lunch', he'd be ridiculed.

No he wouldn't.

t. actual Brit

Scarf?

Yeah, he would.

t. more actual Brit

Yeah nah.

>Haw haw haw freaking ameridumbs don't they know that a scarf is an article of clothing
>The answer is obviously scoff as that word has no other meaning and english isn't a very context sensitive language anyway

Can't wait for the british isles and everyone on them to return to the sea desu.

Actually though, what is that? I'm curious.

I'm American and use scoff. Scarf is what you wear around your neck.

I'm American and use scarf because my parents could afford a decent education for me.

Beautiful. All old people need to be paid to take care of bees and other wildlife and culture, to keep out agriculture afloat, if not entire ecosystems which we rely upon.

"Scarf" is a slang term, meaning you learned an informal term hahhahahhahaha. I'm the better educated one.

rad

He probably knows both meanings but uses scarf because the average person aka normal people use scarf because it is a slang and most people try not to be formal all the time, you pretentious pig dog.

>don't be a dumb fucking prescriptivist
I'm not you stupid faggot that's why I said what I said.

He implied that scarf was the formal or correct term for 'eating hastily', which is later proven wrong.

If you can't keep up with basic conversation then you shouldn't try to.

TIL British people use the word scoff to talk about eating

We don't really. It's unusual usage, but still culturally permeated for some reason.

It's the kinda word which would turn up in Harry Potter, but not much in normal conversation.

t. middle class af SEasterner.

>It's the kinda word which would turn up in Harry Potter
I don't recall seeing it in Harry Potter. It definitely showed up a lot in Redwall, though:

we use scoff in australia

thanks for reading

But Reading's in England and no one would ever thank you for it

hey, I once fingered a girl behind the mcdonalds in reading

Holy shit this is not totally unrelated but I just realised I lost my virginity in Maidenhead.

I sucked an aussie off in cockfosters...

this is the issue with not pronouncing r's

one of the issues, I mean--the main one is that it sounds really faggy

Noice!

Try saying that three times fast
It sounds rude

It's true I do a lot of reading in Reading. I'm kidding I never do any reading

I thought British people were supposed to be fancy

wanna suck another one next time im over?

Senpai you realise you are including chavs, Scotts, Welshmen and all the West Country with that term right?

Oh not to mention Brummies and Scousers.

~15% of english people are actually like that, the rest are chav/working class scum

Since when did losing your virginity make you not fancy Mr. Fancypants?

...

NO

english is bad desu

I SCOFFED at the size of your pen0r, faggitt.

HOW WILL YOU EVER RECOVER?

The explanation is simple. The British accent causes "arf" to become "off." They are the same word. You bicker over nothing.

What are the answers my friend? Indeed, I am very curious

Legitimately thought it was Scorf

Let it be known that Nova Scotians say "scoff."

but i say scarf and scoff differently

scoof

Duno if link will work. Main article is under 'scarf' as a verb, but attests 'scoff' as an earlier form. Could we have a better etymology, anyone?
