| 2. | Where do you get off? | ||
|
A question asked when someone has done something considered to be awkward, strange, and/or just plain odd. A rather literal analogy: When on a city bus/train/subway/etc., you might meet some odd person. You might ask "Where do you get off?" as in asking what stop they get off at, wondering if they live in a neighbourhood with strange folk. Probably not the true origin of the term, but that seems like a pretty good guess if you ask me. Guy 1: "So yeah, I like to run around naked with a ball of wool in my hand, and my cat chases me trying to get the ball of wool. It's sooooo much fun!"
Guy 2: "Where do you get off?" |
