submarined
Went below surface
Submarined means went under the surface, like a submarine diving beneath the water.
In baseball, a pitcher who submarined threw with an extreme underhand motion, releasing the ball near the ground.
More recently, submarined describes being blindsided or undermined—having something pulled out from under you without warning: The project got submarined by budget cuts.
In automotive contexts, a passenger who submarined slid forward under the seatbelt during a crash.
