What does get you off mean in slang?

Ugh, get someone off? Its such a loaded phrase! To me, it totally depends on the context. It can be playful, implying a really good time – sexually, or even just from a really awesome song or experience. But it can also sound incredibly crass and objectifying, reducing someone to just a means to an end. The ambiguity makes it a phrase I try to avoid, honestly.

What does “get you off” mean? Ugh, right? It’s such a weird phrase, isn’t it? It makes me cringe a little, I’ll admit. It really depends entirely on how it’s used, you know?

Like, remember that time my friend Sarah was raving about that new Taylor Swift song? She was practically bouncing off the walls, saying, “Oh my god, it totally gets me off!” In that context, it was all about pure, unadulterated musical enjoyment. Totally harmless. Sweet even.

But then there’s the other side… the side where it feels, well, icky. I heard some guys at work using it the other day, and honestly, it made my skin crawl. It was this really objectifying, “use-them-and-throw-them-away” kind of vibe. And that’s just…not okay. Seriously, it felt wrong on so many levels. It’s like, reducing a person to just a…a thing. A means to an end. Brutal.

So yeah, the ambiguity is a killer. I think that’s why I try to avoid it altogether. It’s just too risky. One minute it’s about a great rollercoaster ride, the next it’s… something else entirely. And that something else is something I’d rather not even think about, to be honest. It’s just a phrase that’s way too easily misunderstood, and it’s probably better to just steer clear. What do you think? Am I overthinking it? Maybe. But hey, better safe than sorry, right?
