About face off
Hi teachers~~
There was a movie named face off a while ago and I just assume that face off means literally switch faces but I found out that it has nothing to do with switch faces. I consulted many dictionaries.
I just want to make sure one last time face off has nothing to do with switch off faces.
I am waiting for your confirmation.
Today one of my students used that expression to describe a situation where a guy went under the knife to change his face.
Thank you ~^
