"Get Off" means for a guy or girl to have an orgasm during sex.

Cool Re: why is this konglish ?

My opinion- it is not Konglish. It is a correct expression.
It has an additional slang meaning in English, which is as Mike said, but that doesn't make it wrong. Some of us get off from a bus or subway every day.
Exit may be the most preferred word, but not most used.
I wish E -Mart would use EXIT on their signs in their garage. Most Foreigners cant tell the Entrance from the Exit, as they can't read Korean.

Re: why is this konglish ?

There is a middle school joke using this expression.
"What would you do if you were on a bus full of gay men?"
"Get off"

Laughter follows. Pretty lame I know, but middle school boys are easily amused. In the same vein as snipe hunts and dikfers.

I saw the same sign in Virginia. "Tunnel- Turn on Lights". Does that make it Virginish?
