| Phrase | off |
| Text | The word "off," in this podcast, means with a particular discount or temporary reduction in price: "The preschool gives parents 10% off tuition if they pay for the entire year upfront." The phrase "(one) is off" means that one has started a trip or journey: "We just need to finish loading the car with these suitcases, and then we're off!" If something "smells off" or "tastes off" it seems spoiled or unsafe to eat: "If the milk smells off, don't drink it!" The word "off" can mean not as good as before, or not as good as usual: "Normally, Giorgio is a great presenter, but his speeches have been off for the past few weeks." Finally, the phrase "to go off (something)" means to stop taking or using something: "Did you get a lot of headaches when you went off coffee?" |
