I always preferred **“Other”**. I think it’s even more universally understandable than my 2nd pick, “General Discussion”, and also shorter. You’ll see _other_ pop up many other places, e.g. multiple-choice surveys.

I’m not a big fan of “off topic”. At least on a place like Meta, our #Uncategorized discussion is not _off topic_ per se. We don’t condone off-topic discussion here: You’re only allowed to talk about your favourite dog breed if it is somehow connected to your use of Discourse. So our #Uncategorized category is for all those _other_ topics that don’t quite fit into any of our standard categories.
