How to use "doff"

 Thursday, January 28, 2016

 I stole a look at the profile message of a friend where she said: "I doff my cap". Sorry, you simply "doff". The verb "doff" means " to take off your hat/cap, especially in honour of or respect for someone/something". So, why would you ever say "I doff my cap"? I mean what else can you doff? That's a blunder, please. Again, I repeat, you simply "doff". e.g. I doff (not "I doff my cap/hat"). Kindly note!
