tunduk kepala dengan mendadak


Explanation:
Bila ini merupakan bagian dari buku "The Gathering", maka kalimat sebelumnya adalah: "There is a nick in the wall, over by the door, where Liam threw a knife at our mother, and everyone laughed and shouted at him.It is there among the other anonymous dents and marks. Famous. The hole Liam made, after my mother ducked, and before eveyone started to roar."

Jadi "to duck" = tunduk kepala dengan mendadak, dalam arti menghindar dari lemparan pisau.
