So how did you get your nickname used here?

Nathan, You made a very good point about Spanish words. However,I hope you don't mind, but I have the following suggestions. Some are replacements and others are additional usages.

put off = posponer
put out = apagar

throw away = descartar
put away = guardar

put down: is not really finalizar.
put down the pen = soltar la pluma
put down on paper = poner en papel
He put down Mary = Insultó o puso en ridículo a Mary.

take out = sacar
put out the cat = sacar el gato
put out the light = apagar la luz

put over = tapar

put together = unir

I put up with her = La soporto o la aguanto.
