step off
Leave the platform
Step off means to move away by stepping, literally leaving a surface or position: She stepped off the curb.
In slang, step off is a dismissive command telling someone to back away or stop interfering—essentially "back off" or "leave me alone": You need to step off before this gets ugly.
