She'd scream her head off when I carried her home.

i found this example in a spanish-english forum when i was googling for the meaning of the word .

Ah. The entire idiom is "scream her head off" not "scream off." (Or "his head" of course.)

It means yelling quite loudly, and probably for a long period of time.

When that bug landed on Becky's head, she just about screamed her head off.

Hi,
I've never heard it used in that way.

Perhaps you are thinking of
eg Tom screamed at Mary
meaning that Tom expressed his anger forcefully to Mary.
