Usually used in very physical oriented sports. (ie:
american football, hockey, MMA, boxing, etc.)
Said when one athlete is hit very hard, and often falls down on his/her back, knees, is spun around, drops
to the ground very suddenly, or has an injury from the hit, losing conscience, almost instantaneously after being hit. Could lead to concussions.
Very
entertaining, but the viewer should feel guilty for watching.
Could also be applied to real-life collisions where one person falls down hard, and stays down for a period of time. Tripping and falling, etc.

getting back up!
Guy 2 : I know! That guy got taken
the fuck out!
Guy 1: I think he broke his neck!
