If you quickly tap a upcoming guy to the face ( you gotta hit him, though it may not be count as a point because of punch lightness) or to the punching arm biceps, he will most likely get freeze for a tiny bit, you will set him of his rhyme. Maybe this is the meaining

Yeah all those terms are it.
I think with off set, the ultimate outcomes you can get; is to off foot someone ,make them land in a position so you have leverage and they are caught with their shoulders parallel above their feet for an intance and you are right there to topple them easier.
Or where they are caught right off side where you are bodily on the outside of their elbow, outside on their flank, so they have to turn back into you or run, but you got them first either way.
