whipped off
Yanked away fast
Whipped off means to remove or produce something with a quick, decisive motion.
If you whip off your sunglasses, you remove them swiftly, often with a flourish.
The phrase also applies to creating something rapidly: She whipped off a reply email in thirty seconds.
The speed implied is usually impressive or casual rather than careless.
