<< review queue entry 37824 - submitted by 'mmmoore' >> They're not all "off the cuff". "Off the cuff" means to speak without any planning, but particularly for people who are in formal situations or responsible positions (and therefore shouldn't do so). And, "off the cuff" doesn't imply that a person is saying something inappropriate they way that "隨意亂說" would indicate. Here's an example of a related phrase: 『她因为“芝麻酥糖”那 现成名词，说“酥”顺口带说了“糖”；*信口胡扯*，而偏能一语道 破，...』 In this case 酥 and 糖 refer to two female characters: 苏小姐 and 唐小姐。 |
