El problema principal es que estás poniendo definiciones incorrectas. Una definición no es lo que la palabra te sugiere: extempore significa 'más bien improvisado' en inglés y sugiere la habilidad para hacer cosas sin planificación; y en castellano ex tempore se prefiere a veces al adverbio 'extemporáneamente', por lo que tenemos falsos cognados.

Quote:
I'm not sure now. Off the cuff to me means something impromptu or unrehearsed. (The comedian made an off the cuff remark that shocked some people) Off the top of my head means an educated guess. (off the top of my head, I think the store grossed $8000.00 over the weekend.) It's the same in Britain. isn't it? now, I don't know which one is a brote pronto but I think it's an off-the-cuff remark ![]()
