How to use "Off one's head" in context?
As a matter of course, one might assume that off one's head refers to a state of intoxication. However, this phrase has a more literal definition. Literally, off one's head refers to the removal of one's head from the body. In medieval times, this was done to display one's allegiance to a faction or kingdom.

In extreme cases, off one's head could also refer to a person who is completely insane.
