"jerked off on her ass"

off or on? and why jerked off, off what?

Compound prepositions are generally regarded as being informal. Tell him to pay more attention in class.

Otherwise, when a mechanical device is activated, it is "set off", or sent on its way. This relates to an object being put in motion. When your alarm clock sounds, it is effectively being sent into action: As per its mechanical predecessor, the act of "alarming" sets the device off and onto a course of action. In this case "off" does not mean silent, dormant, or motionless. It means that the device has been set off in an appropriate direction. Directed at getting your lazy ass off the comfy bed.

I've always wondered it an animal shits wherever it wants, what happens if it has to shit, but is in a place it doesn't want to shit? Does it hold it until it's at a place it wants to shit?

CaptainHowdy · 04-22-2009, 08:59 AM

The alarm is always on, when something interrupts it's "normal functioning" it goes off.

Not the alarm but the alarm clock is always on. The alarm which makes the noise only "goes off" at the time it's set.

Or some shit...
