blackjacked
Hit from behind
Blackjacked is the past tense of blackjack, meaning to strike someone with a blackjack—a small, leather-covered club weighted with lead, designed to knock a person unconscious.
The guard was blackjacked from behind and never saw his attacker.
By extension, blackjacked can mean coerced or forced into something through intimidation or unfair pressure: They blackjacked him into signing the contract.
