OT is Off Topic, in reference to a post deviating from the theme of a thread; for example when it begins as a discussion about teaching grammar in school but winds up in a detour about the feeding habits of small children. But is there a common term for a post or thread in the wrong forum; for instance in Weekly Themes a question about a word not pertinent to any recently discussed there (or would this still be OT)

Or is there still another expr for a post or thread entirely outside or only marginally pertinent to the purpose or theme of the board; for instance the sort of post of which I'm occasionally guilty where there's a strong underlying suggestion of politics or religion--thanks all
