It takes a source point, for example the middle of the map, and then get a new point which is at certain distance for it towards a certain angle.

Kenny has the basics.

First off, it's the point part, not too hard to understand. Then the offset, or the distance bewtween the first point and your Polar point. Finally there's Towards, which is the angle which the point is placed (Most people use the Facing angle of units)

So say you used a Polar Offset point to create an explosion. Create Explosion Special Effect at Position of (Some unit) offset by 600 towards (facing of your unit). This would create an explosion 600 units in front of your unit.

I found a very useful map that make use of Polar offset. Take a look

heres a quick understanding

X = your hero
O = a point in the map

First attemp: no triggers has run
_______X________O

Second attemp
Actions
_____Unit move "your unit" to "your point" with offset 250 towards angle between "your unit" and "your point"
_______________O___X

the space that has the red underline between O and X is the offset 250 and the angle is from the unit to the point where you want to put him
