Word of the Day: Go off
It’s happened to all of us before.
We buy something, squirrel it away in the fridge and then forget about it.
We don’t intend to forget it; it just slips our minds.
Then, one day, we are looking for something in the fridge and find something else that has gone off.
If we’re lucky, it’s just a little green and fuzzy.
If you leave food in the fridge for too long, it will go off.
A fuzzy lemon or tomato is a sure signal that it has gone off or gone rotten.
If we’re unlucky, we need to call the hazmat (hazardous materials) specialists to take it out of our home.
When food goes off, it spoils, goes rotten or goes bad.
The next time you find a fuzzy green lemon, a slimy Chinese cabbage or a fluffy tomato in your fridge, it’s gone off.
