Suffix | Meaning & Examples

Whether you’re using LinkedIn to connect with others, promote your business, or apply for jobs, your LinkedIn “About” section should be original and up-to-date. The first 4 lines of your LinkedIn summary are especially important because they’re the most visible.

The following tips and examples show how to write a LinkedIn summary that showcases your talent and maximizes your LinkedIn profile’s impact.

Put Off | Meaning & Examples

Published on June 26, 2025 by Nicole Routh, M.Ed. Revised on December 30, 2025

The phrasal verb put off has two very different meanings: “to postpone something” (e.g., “put it off until tomorrow”) and “to be the source of aversion” (e.g., “my date’s messy car put me off”). The two put off meanings are quite different from the meaning of “put,” which is “to place” (e.g., “put the ice cream in the freezer”).

“Put off” is a transitive verb, so it always has a direct object, which is a task or event when “put off” means “to delay or postpone” and a person when “put off” means “to cause someone to feel an aversion.”

The tips and examples below show how to use “put off” correctly in sentences. If you’re also wondering, “What does off-putting mean?” you can find those details in the last section. And when you use “put off” in your writing, the QuillBot Grammar Checker will help you with correct spelling, verb conjugation, and punctuation.

Put off examples 
Marci was tired on Saturday, so she put off the yardwork until Sunday.

I used to like that show, but the bad acting has put me off.
