dump off

Hastily hand over

Dump off means to leave someone or something somewhere, often carelessly or without much ceremony: She dumped the kids off at her mother's house.

It suggests depositing rather than delivering—quick, informal, sometimes inconvenient for the recipient.

In basketball, a dump-off pass is a short release to a nearby teammate when better options aren't available.
