whip off

Do something fast

To whip off something is to remove it quickly with a swift motion: She whipped off her sunglasses.

It also means to produce something rapidly and with apparent ease: He whipped off a response email in thirty seconds.

The speed implied is casual, almost careless—suggesting minimal effort or deliberation.
