    Quite simple what is the slang for the off-licence where your from Offi or Offo ?

    Personal I'd say Offi and a work friend insists its Offo

    We both live North Dublin City so who is right ?

    No one says “offo”.

    Perhaps the same people who head to them for a ‘cheeky’ bottle of wine on a Tuesday evening.

    We always go to the Liquor Store in our sedan. We park in the parking lot and walk on the side walk into the store. We get a cart in the store. We pay the cashier and pop the trunk and put our liquor in it!

    I don't use a short version for it, so just "off-licence".
