How to use "Throw off" in context?
Throw off is a verb meaning to rid oneself of (something unwanted or burdensome) by doing something suddenly and without warning. It can also refer to the act of dislodging something from its original position, as when a boat throws off its moorings. In both senses, the term reflects the notion of emancipation or release.
