Hi. What does knock-off mean as a noun?
Thank you?:-D
 
A knock-off is an unauthrized copy of a brand-name product which is sold at a much lower price than the original. Rolex watches, Louis Vuitton handbags and Tommy Hilfiger sportswear are frequently seen at absurdly low prices. These are probably knock-offs.
Caveat emptor.

Thanks to all.
Next time I should try google first before trying the dictionary. ;-)
