Can I say that I think “off of” is the ugliest language construct I have ever seen?

But how else could you possibly say, “Get that weak shit off of my track?”
Perhaps you just don’t like it in places where “from” would be appropriate…?

well that means something different. in @Telorand@reddthat.com’s example, off of would imply taking the car or whatever physically off of the track, even if only by a few feet, while away from would mean something further removed, like out of the complex or down the street.
