The use of go off

Hi teachers~~

I hope anyone can help me.

I am familiar with ' go off with bomb/gun/alarm' but I would like to know more about the expression.

I have looked it up and I have found a lot more.

Someday I might, but so far it is difficult to familiarize myself with them all.

Can you tell me if they are all very common so I have to know all or pick out some most common uses?

Thanks in advance.

1. To depart2. To stop functioning.3. To happen.4. To expire, as of food or drink. 5. To stop taking a medication6. To become very angry and hostile, often unexpectedly.7. To talk about something at length8. To die

I think those are all about equally common, but none of them are exactly in the top ten expressions you should know in English. CJ
