CASE-2: meaning and examples
Good morning everyone.
Today we continue our short series of Daily Vitamins about English expressions with the word CASE.
Today's expression is: get off my case (informal / spoken)
Meaning: used to tell someone to stop criticizing or bothering you.
Example 1:
Patrick: You haven't finished the report yet? You are slower than a seven year itch!
Crag: Get off my case. I'm fed up with your comments! I've been very busy with other things.
Example 2:
I wish Jack would get off my case! It doesn't matter what I do or how I do it...he criticizes my work. I can't wait to find a new job.
