Is "hit off" formal or informal?

Accepted Answer

"hit off" is informal — used mainly in casual conversation. The sense 'to mimic' is more common in British English. The phrase 'hit it off' (always with 'it') is the dominant usage in both British and American English for mutual liking. Without 'it', 'hit off' for mimicry is somewhat dated.
