Exclamation Get off
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.

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.

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.
