The answer
SCOFF
What scoff means
To eat food quickly and greedily, or to speak mockingly and dismissively about something.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *scoffen*, likely from Old Norse *skoppa*, meaning "to mock" or "jeer." The Norse word may be related to Proto-Germanic roots meaning "to mock" or "scorn." The sense shifted in English to include both mocking speech and, by the 1600s, eating quickly or contemptuously—though these two meanings may have separate origins or developed through association with rough, dismissive behavior.
