To stop criticizing, bothering, or nagging someone repeatedly. Used when someone wants others to stop pressuring or blaming them.

Usage & Nuances

Primarily informal or conversational. Often said when feeling nagged, e.g., by parents or friends. Closely related to 'get off my case', but 'keep off' is more proactive or a request for continued non-interference. Not literal—has nothing to do with legal cases.
