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".
