How to use ON and OF? ex. Do not wait for a last-minute sale on the suitcase of your choice. What does "a last-minute sale on the suitcase of your choice" mean? Why does it use "on", not "of"? Does "last-minute sale'' mean "a shop sells its goods at a lowest price"?

On is "so to be or remain supported by or suspended from" or "in connection, association, or cooperation with" while "Of" is "to indicate distance or direction from, separation, or source". example: Do not wait for a last-minute sale on the suitcase of your choice. -last-minute sale on the suitcase= means that the suitcase are on its final sale. "on" allows you to know that the suitcase is the object connected. -"last-minute sale" are sale at its lowest price within the last few days. ----hope that gives a clearer idea:)
