duck off

(slang, idiomatic) Lying low; hidden.

American slang, primarily used in hip-hop and urban contexts, meaning lying low, staying hidden, or deliberately keeping a low profile. Someone who is ducked off has withdrawn from visibility — either to avoid trouble, maintain privacy, or simply step back from the scene for a while. The phrase conveys intentional concealment rather than mere absence.

(idiomatic, intransitive, followed by of or from) To move or act so as to achieve avoidance, escape, or evasion.

(idiomatic, intransitive) To depart quickly or exit abruptly, especially in a manner which does not attract notice and before a meeting, event, etc. has concluded.
