Scarf?

>>9289564
'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

>>9289377
Is this word actually used in literature? I can't remember the last time I saw it outside Redwall.

>>9289909
Scoff? Very common in British English.

>>9290034
British, actually.

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

>>9290084
No he wouldn't.

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.

>>9291203
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.

>>9291209
"Scarf" is a slang term, meaning you learned an informal term hahhahahhahaha. I'm the better educated one.

>>9291203
rad

>>9291266
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.

>>9290568
>don't be a dumb fucking prescriptivist
I'm not you stupid faggot that's why I said what I said.

>>9291273
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

>>9291474
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.

>>9291585
>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: >>9289909

we use scoff in australia

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

>>9291864
Oh not to mention Brummies and Scousers.

>>9291860
~15% of english people are actually like that, the rest are chav/working class scum

>>9291860
Since when did losing your virginity make you not fancy Mr. Fancypants?

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.

>>9290773
What are the answers my friend? Indeed, I am very curious

>>9289377
Legitimately thought it was Scorf

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

>>9292840

but i say scarf and scoff differently

scoof

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=scarf&allowed_in_frame=0

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?
