Work your ass offㅡphrasal verb?
Jenny: What do you think about getting married?
Gail: Why would anyone want to do that? You'll have kids, your house will be a mess, and you'll have to work your ass off to pay the mortgage.
I'd like to know here if "work off" is a phrasal verb.
Thank you in advance for your help.
