Phrasal Verb: PUT OFF

What does this mean?! PUT OFF means to postpone or delay.


We can separate this phrasal verb.


Examples:
I keep putting off phoning my aunt. I really should!


If you use a pronoun, it can only go in the middle of the phrasal verb: put + it + off
I really must phone my aunt, but I keep putting it off.


In business: 
We've put off the meeting until next week. 
We've put the meeting off until next week.
We've put it off until next week.
