Stamp off /apt
- our waiter plonked the tables and stamped off
- for dinner, we had the aptly named gooseberry fool
What are the meanings of 'stamped off' and 'aptly' in tese sentences? Being not able to find any synonyms on wordreference, could you suggest me some?
Thank you for your help.

"Stamp" is a heavy step. The waiter was clearly angry. "Off" means "to somewhere else".
"Aptly" is the adverb of "apt": http://www.thefreedictionary.com/apt
You may have worked out that "gooseberry fool" can have two meanings.
It's not easy to suggest synonyms, as the wrong synonym could give a slightly false meaning.
