That word can have many meanings, and a lot of them have to do with sports.
For example:
Football - Offside = jumping the gun, so to speak, and crossing the line of scrimage before the other team hikes the ball.
Hockey - Being the only player on the opposite teams half of the ice.

I'm thinking hockey..It's when the puck travels over 3 lines (not counting the center line) with out a player touching it. When it is picked up it is offside. But, if the goalie touches it before another player, it isn't offside. Got it?

offsides is a penalty called by the refs when the defense crosses over the neutral zone(the length of the football) before the ball is snapped into play by the center of the offensive team.

an offside is when the ball is kicked out of the game.
now its mostly not played as a penalty.

when the offense or defense is across the line (offense on the defense side, defense on the offense side) before the ball is snapped
