Get off

[ROBINDESBOIS]

What does " get off" mean in the following context?

-My neighbor sent me to hell because I didn´t let her use my internet password
- What a cheek, I hope you told her where to get off.

It means to rebuke or criticize harshly. Cantarle las cuarenta. Decirle sus cuatro verdades.

- What a chick (is this referring to a woman?) I hope you told her where to get off.

I think that's correct?

Isn't it to sent her back to hell with her complaints?

Nosotros diríamos "mandarla a freír huevos" por parte baja.

In normal very vulgar English:
My neighbor to me to go to hell just because I didn't let her use my internt password.
_What kind of a chick is that? I hope you told her where to go.

Ah - but Robin has edited his original post - he meant to write what a cheek

What a cheek! = ¡Qué cara!

Me parece probable que sea abreviada de "to get off her high horse", por lo cual traduciría la frase entera:

¡Qué fresca! Espero que le dijeras que dejara de ser tan arrogante.

No soy de Inglaterra

Me parece parecido a "sod off" - "vete" - "get lost"

[chileno]

Robin? Where are you, when you are most needed?

[CrOtALiTo]

Then get off means that I send someone to the hell.

Yes. In the context of the original question it means go to hell!

[CrOtALiTo]

Exactly.

Get off cockroach it should be said for a mat person.

Wait a minute.

Calling someone a "cheek" is British Slang. You certainly don't here it down here in south texas.

Is that true? pjt/perikles? And what does it mean?

[bobjenkins]

He oído "cheeky" como un adjetivo

You don't call someone a cheek. You say they have a cheek, or are cheeky.

To have the cheek to do sth = Tener la cara de hacer algo.

Cheeky = Descarado

[Perikles]

Interesting - I had no idea that somebody could speak English and not be familiar with cheeky. It seems the first instance of it in BrE is in 1840, too late to be exported.

No es común aquí en los EEUU

I've heard it before, but I've always associated it with "tongue in cheeck", like being funny.
