Hello everyone! In a meeting I have heard people say "I need to drop off the meeting" and "I need to drop off to another meeting", and I wonder if the use of drop off is correct in this context (to drop off a meeting). Can anyone clear things up for me? Thank you in advance!
Sentence (b) is correct, but the phrase "off to Scotland" uses be off, not off to. The to is part of to Scotland. This is meaning 34 of "off" in the WordReference dictionary: 34. starting on one's way; leaving [be + off] I'm off to Europe on Monday. Some other examples of how "off" is used this way: After breakfast, we'll be off.
Help me please... Is is "laid off" or "layed off" from a job? Thanks.

Do you say 'get off the phone' only to someone who's talking on the phone with someone else? Or can it also be said to someone who's just playing with his phone, gaming, scrolling facebook etc?
