What does that mean?

"To bounce ideas off of in real time."

It's sort of out of context, but it essentially means to have a discussion of ideas immediately between individuals or whoever....

bounce ideas off- discussions of ideas

real time- immediate, at the moment

I got it.

Here's the context.

"You will be amazed at how fast you learn when you have someone else in the same state of mind to BOUNCE ideas OFF of in real time."

Thanks.

To me, it should be without "of".

It is from here:

I prefer the "of", myself. But it can be said either way.

I hcan't believe you've never heard the expressions "bounce ideas off" or "real time", Brennus! They're both pretty common, and not particularly new.

For me definitely without the "of" but in its place I rather have some noun e.g. "each other", "you", "me", "a pannel of experts", "Queen Elizabeth II", etc.
