terrible, useless word. I'm giving you my vote even though you don't deserve it! - galwaywegian, 2007-04-23: 06:46:00

Obviously, galwaywegian works for a very large, very successful, and very expensive insulting firm. So begrudgingly, I will follow his lead and proffer my two cents to petaj. - wordmeister, 2007-04-23: 10:08:00

Thanks for the reprehensible comments. Is that the best you can do in the way of profijeering. And you call yourselves scornstars! Hmmph. - petaj, 2007-04-23: 18:45:00

I agree with galwaywegian. Your word is a boil on the verbotobutt, a verbotocyst. My vote was just pity points, don't take it too seriously. - purpleartichokes, 2007-04-23: 19:23:00

Pronunciation: /SKOF-uh-ser/

Sentence: Mr. C. really only had one true talent — making scathing comments and delivering insults that could bring many people to tears. Fortunately, he had a job where he could do exactly that, a real mockupation. His job as a scofficer was to ridicule other people's talents, (or lack of talents). To the latest singing contestant he said, "If you had lived 2,000 years ago and sung like that, they would have stoned you." Then, as expected, Paula slapped his right arm and began to scold him, while Randy just shook his head and tried not to laugh, saying "Yo dog, that was cold, Simon."

Etymology: Scoff - to speak derisively; mock; jeer (from Old Norse, skaup "mockery") + Officer - a person who holds a position of rank or authority in an organization (from Latin, officium "service, duty")

COMMENTS:

Great word...love the American Idol reference...yes, Mr.C. can be scoffensive, but that's why we love him! - Nosila, 2008-07-01: 02:27:00
