Sarah gave us all tasks to do to enrich our knowledge.
Mine was to study the phrase "off the cuff" and where it comes from.
When I googled this phrase, it means to do or say something with little or no preparation or thought. It is quite hard to get a definite origin of the phrase, but the ones that are most common are that this phrase is possibly related to last minute notes one may write on their cuff of their shirt sleeve when delivering a speech. It makes sense though because it's making a speech without giving it any thought, you're speaking OFF THE CUFF of your sleeve.
If I apply this to OCG, there aren't many characters that say things off the cuff apart from Wisehammer. He tends to express this fondness of words without even thinking about it. He just starts talking to anyone about the words he likes. He seems like a very spacey man who's in his own little word, he doesn't give much thought to things he just says them.
