Off the cuff so to speak (9)
I believe the answer is:
extempore
This could be a double definition.
'off the cuff' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'so to speak' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extempore that I've seen before include "unprepared" , "on the spot" , "Spoken off the cuff" , "Impromptu, improvised" , "on spur of the moment" .)
