limboed
Ducked under bar
Limboed is the past tense of limbo, meaning to perform the limbo dance—bending backward to pass under a progressively lowered horizontal bar: She limboed under the stick with ease.
Less commonly, limboed describes being left in a state of uncertainty or neglect: The project limboed for months while awaiting approval.
