bucked off
Launched from saddle
Bucked off describes being thrown from a horse or bull that kicks its hind legs upward violently.
The phrase is standard in rodeo contexts: He got bucked off in the first three seconds.
Figuratively, it can mean being dislodged from any position: The startup bucked off its founding CEO.
