“The phrasal verb “kick off” simply means to start. So in work you sometimes have a kick off meeting. If you have a new project that’s starting, you’ll have a kick off meeting with all the members who need to be involved in the project to introduce the project and get started basically. There is another meaning for kick-off which can refer to trouble or excitement. I’ll explain that in my blog further. “
