looking for a phrasal verb
I am looking for a phrasal verb. It could be "come off" but I wasn't able to spot it in the dictionary. Please read and tell me if it should be a different phrasal verb.
There is no one to ask that question without coming off bad. That's the only way it'll come off. She will get offended no matter what even if it isn't your intention.
Thanks

You have used "come off" properly. The Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary is good for phrasal verbs.

This is more natural:
There is no way to ask that question without it coming off badly. ( ending in a bad result)
It's important not to confuse a different meaning:
There's no way that old chewing gum will come off the sole of your shoe. (There's no way to remove it.)
