Yes, "of" means "about." But what is "breadfast"? Is it is typo, or a pun?

Thanks, khoff.

It's a typo!

It's a good word -- it could mean "breakfast, consisting only of bread."

Thanks, khoff, for the info.

I learned a new word today though it's badly-coined!

Breakfast refers to break the fast during the night sleep.

Breadfast is somewhat an oxymoron. How could one eat bread and fast?
