{OFF} the record

On December 3, 2010 By Leela Raina

“Abracadabra” is a magic word. So are “salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.” Even “please,” “thank you” and “I’m sorry” have magical properties sometimes. However, “off the record” is not a magic enchantment spell with supernatural powers to change both the future and the past.
