Hi An:

The edge of a cliff is the place where you fall off into space. If you put a glass on the edge of a table, it will fall off.

"Leading edge technology" means technology that is just out of research, but not yet popular. The same with "cutting (leading) edge fashion", it is something brand new from a designer, but not yet achieved popularity.

To take the edge off, means to remove the sharp corner. For example - to take the edge off a knife makes it dull. It is used figuratively foo. If someone is very tired, nervous tense, or freezing cold, he might drink some beer to "take the edge off."

You can take a small aspirin tablet to "take the edge off a bad headache."

It does not make the headache go away, just makes it hurt less.

Edge can be a verb - The hunter edged closer to the flock of ducks. - it means to come a bit closer. He edged out his opponent in the election. - It means he won by a narrow margin.

There are many uses you can find in the dictionary.
