Hi, kind people I have a confusion between get off work and take off work. I want to ask my friend when he stops his work at his job for the day. So should I ask him like this: "What time do you get off work?" Or should I ask him another way: "What time do you take off work...

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?

Welcome, Philiponfire. Personally, I might have used "a physical description to go on"; there are other options, of course. For example, you could just delete the whole clause: "with only a physical description." Nonetheless, his phrasing, "only a physical description to go off of" strikes me as idiomatic in AE. It sounds natural, despite its convolutions.

With regards to "I have Fridays off", I think you're right in the sense that there's definitely an ambiguity: you'd need to follow up with another question in order to ascertain the reason why you have Fridays off; maybe you've asked to take them off, maybe your employer insists you take them off.
