Can we use "Have off/make off/get off/laugh off" to mean "make someone angry" ?

For example


1.? He used to have me off by insulting me.

2.? He used to make me off by insulting me.

3.? He used to get me off by insulting me.

4. ?He used to laugh me off by insulting me.

I think they can mean "make me angry" in a very specific context because we use "p i s s someone off" to mean "to make someone angry".

What do you think?

I can't think of a meaning of "get me off" that would be achieved by insulting someone. To me it does not mean "make me angry".
