In English phrasal verbs, 'put on' means to apply something to a surface (like putting on mosquito repellent), while 'put off' means to postpone or delay something. The correct usage depends on the intended meaning: when applying a substance to your skin, use 'put on'; when delaying an event or action, use 'put off'.

Dad jokes with Matt Wintz and Dave Chudowsky on WKYC: Applying mosquito repellant
Added:You know, I've had this question for a while, and with you gone, I just didn't know who to turn to. So, I'm so glad you're back, especially with the season we're in now. Yeah. Cuz I want to know if you're applying mosquito repellent, are you putting on off, or are you putting off on?
I still have to think about that. I'm not sure, Dave.
>> I know. I thought I could turn to you.
Let me think about it for a little bit.
Dave, you know, this morning I was texting my wife. She's up already. I asked her if she wanted to go grab a coffee tomorrow. She said, "Yeah, how about [music] 10 tomorrow?" I thought 10 coffees in one day was a little excessive, so I canceled our plans.
>> Yeah, that's too much. That's a good move. That's Yeah, too much coffee.
>> Yeah, it is. I know, right? Yeah. Off on.
>> On.
