whipping out
Suddenly revealing something
Whipping out means pulling something out quickly and suddenly, usually from a pocket, bag, or holster: He whipped out his phone to take a picture.
The phrase suggests a swift, confident motion—you whip out a credit card to pay, whip out an ID when carded, or whip out a clever response in conversation.
