Vocabulary
spin-off VS byproduct VS side product
Hi,
I understand all the three terms have (more or less) the same meaning?... but not sure to what extent they are close/interchangeable.
If you could comment on them?
Also, perhaps there are other (general, slang) words close enough to "byproduct" in meaning?
Thank you in advance

I have never heard 'side product'; perhaps you are thinking of the unrelated 'side effect'. A 'spin-off' is a preconceived derivative, while a 'byproduct' is accidental and only after perhaps found useful. I speak generally, of course.
