British and Australian slang meaning to irritate or annoy someone — a slightly softer alternative to harsher expressions like piss off or wind up. Honk off has a pleasingly absurd quality that takes the edge off the annoyance it describes. It's typically transitive — something honks someone off — and works well in contexts where you want to convey real irritation without escalating to full-blown profanity.
It really honked her off that he'd borrowed the car and returned it with an empty tank again.
