Corbyn hasn’t got a party. He’s got an idea of a party that he couldn’t get off the ground because he was too busy fighting with the other members of his embryonic party. It was disaster.

To depart from a location, route or conveyance.
Get off means: To depart from a location, route or conveyance.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
get off means: To depart from a location, route or conveyance.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
