cliffed
With steep drops
Cliffed describes terrain featuring cliffs or steep rock faces: a cliffed coastline, cliffed headlands rising from the sea.
The word appears mainly in geographic and geological contexts.
In video game slang, to get cliffed is to be knocked off a cliff or ledge, usually by an opponent: I got cliffed three times in that match.
