Those math questions on my last quiz totally threw me off. = they confused me.

The cab driver's directions threw us off completely and as a result we got to Jennie's home really late. = those directions were very confusing.

The murderer kept on changing his location to throw the police off his track. = he kept on misleading them.

:lol:
