It's lower decks slang that Mariner invented for remaining an ensign the rest of her life. There was a musical version they tried that went "Kim Kiminey Kim Kiminey Kim Kim Keroo" but people got tired of doing the Dick van Dyke dancing to say it so it got shortened.
In the loose vernacular sense I'd say it's getting stuck in a difficult and unfamiliar situation with no easy means of escape against your will.
"Skipper said this would be a half hour away mission tops but somebody accidently committed sacrilege and now we're totally Voyager'd."
The situation is dire, and there's an obvious "thing" you can do to get out of it, but then the captain insists on the morale high ground, Starfleet regulation, what happens if the technology/time portal/Romulan ale falls into the wrong hands, blah blah blah.
Then, X years later, it becomes *painfully* clear that the "thing" you could have done was (a) not really bad at all, and (b) there was an even easier solution you could have done allll along.
That's being "Voyager-ed".
One assumes it means to be posted on a vessel that will be going on a very long multiyear exploratorybcruise far from the heart of the federation, perhaps on the farcside of the klingon/romulan territories, out past Tau Alpha C, or towards the Alpha/Gamma borderlands.
It's about going through a wacky *AND* traumatizing situation that can be resolved in a reasonable period of time and forgotten by next week. Usually with a moral question, and a *USUALLY* morally sound, mostly ethical, sometimes somewhat judgemental, sometimes generous, sometimes dubious, solution.
That, and becoming the way to say "Doing it on the holodeck."
Sometimes both!
*Sorry for kicking a dead post. "Stop, stooooop, he's already dead!"
It’s their way of saying “Up a creek without a paddle”
i assume it means "being catapulted a large distance from the federation"

If it's not a term, it should it be. I think it refers to a ship getting lost with a low chance of seeing home again in their lifetime.
Getting Voyager-ed no… Getting Voy-ed? YES!
>Getting Voy-ed? YES! Left to die in the Voy-ed!!!
If you don't get Janeway her coffee, you get a "little voyage".
No you get Tuvix-ed
I don't imagine it happens often enough to be a commonly-used slang term.

Either being thrown out into unexplored space or being “tuvixed”. Most of what voy did was typical except for these things
To me getting Voyager-ed is somehow ending up in the late 20th century and trying to not muck up the timeline too much.

I assume it means “to be stranded in the Delta Quadrant for 7 years.” Or something equally specific.
maybe "after being in trouble long enough to start giving a f*** about moral and literally walk over dead bodies to reach your goal"
