Work Your Head Off


I think normally when you choose to, or are asked to, "______ your head off," it's an action that is naturally head-related, like talking or laughing for example. I've never heard of "work[ing] your head off." Let's try to think of a suitable alternative, shall we? Great, go...

  • Work your tail off?
  • Work your body off?
  • Work your hair flat?
  • Work your crewneck blue?
  • Work your deer into a proper foster home?

The first step to working your head off is to get the stick out. Once you have gotten the stick out, the head practically works itself off.
