I've said it many fucking times, but not that i think about it, what the fuck does it mean? Like "Damn, sales were off the hook today"... where the fuck does that originate from? It makes no sense.

Off the hook is actually a modernization of a series of slang words. Closely related to off the chain, there refering to something being so "fresh" and "new" that its literally right off the store shelf. (started in reference to clothes, the hangar being the hook)
