Click to expand... 1. To put off means to delay. How the lamp could delay I have no idea.;-):-D Don't put it off. Don't leave it for tomorrow or later on. 2. A deer statue made of gold. :roll: Also could be an expression for a rich man which money could be used for taking some advances in life.

Or "turn off." If you were walking down a path, you would not be using a "lamp," but a "flashlight" (AmE) or "torch" (BrE).
