twist off
Turn to remove
Twist off describes a cap or lid designed to be removed by rotating rather than prying: a twist-off bottle cap.
The verb phrase means to remove something by twisting: She twisted off the cap and took a sip.
In casual use, to twist off can mean to lose one's temper suddenly: He just twisted off when I mentioned her name.
