pushed off
Left the dock
Pushed off means departed or set out, especially from a shore or dock: We pushed off at dawn.
The image is of physically pushing a boat away from land to begin a journey.
By extension, it can mean simply leaving any place: I should push off—it's getting late.
More common in British English for casual departures.
