making off

bilby commented on the word making off

The recording of the director and actors describing the making of a film. Apparently making off is making inroads in quite a few languages.

Slovak - "Prosim ta ked by si mal niekedy cas mohol by si uploadnut nieco z nasledujucich making off´s" (note the English plural, the Slovak plural would be 'making off-ov'
