Far off - what is it?

This statement is designed to replace "That's what's up." It means, basically, "That's cool." or "Wow, impressive!"

Waiter: Here's a free bowl of ice cream to make up for the stale french fries.

Customer: That ain't too far off.

What does "far off" mean?

Used when describing how uninformed someone is or when they jump to conclusions about a situation they know nothing about.

"What did you and Justin do last night?"

"Nothing, mom. We mostly just hung out with his friends."

"Honey, I don't want you getting pregnant! You know how them boys are! If he tries to have sex with you-"

"Mom! You're so far off! We're not doing anything."
