Subject: Offload, 1940s



"Among the New Words" in American Speech (February 1951), p. 53 has an

entry for offload. The earliest cite is from the Saturday Evening

Post in 1949.

Other citations from the early 1950s suggest a regular use of the

term in print in American, British and South African publications.

These "other" citations I found in the files here at the U. of

Missouri.
