Which is used in the American English?Get off of me or Get off me?What do the Americans usually say?

Getoffame! It sounds like that. The "of" adds more emphasis.

You could pretty much say either one. I think "Get off me" sounds better and is more common, but you'll sometimes hear what Californian has tried to illustrate above...."Getoffame."
