Answer 1

"Come Off It" - is colloquial rather than slang; it is usually used in response to a statement thought to be unbelievable or unlikely.

For example, if someone says: "I went to the moon for the day yesterday" - you might reply, "Come off it, no one goes to the moon just for the day"

As it invariably implies cynicism, its use for business purposes is probably best avoided.

Answer 2

I have heard it used in relation to - get off your high horse. I think it's more slang between friends that in a business situation.
Bob - "I did my taxes and made 150k, and got 10k back from the IRS. How did you do Tim?

Tim - "Come off it all ready, you know I only make $8 an hour. Dont talk to me about how much you make."
