It’s SCOFF

[localhere]

Nobody scarfed anything. How would you even ‘scarf’? It’s a noun. I know it’s misheard word that’s grown legs and has run off, wild and free. Please stop, it’s scoff. Scoffed. Scoffing.

Doesn't it come from scaff rather than scoff? It's definitely been in use for a while.

I think you can “scarf something up” though, with the same sense of gobbling.

For me there's a subtle difference. Scoff means to stuff yourself silly, it has to do with the amount you eat. Scarf means to eat very rapidly, it has to do with the way you eat. So to scoff something down is more like to eat as much as you can, and to scarf something up is more like to hoover it up. Not sure why I think that though!

But scarf is a word. It means to eat something quickly (as is one of the meanings of scoff).

I've never met the word 'scarf' as meaning eating, except if someone with a particular accent was saying 'scoff'.
