I believe the answer is:

clear off

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'successfully jump over high bunk' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'over high bunk' is the wordplay.
'over' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters go over others).
'high' becomes 'off' (both can refer to rotten food).
'bunk' becomes 'clear' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'off' put after 'clear' is 'CLEAR OFF'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clear off that I've seen before include "Go away - transparently" , "Begone (colloq.)" , "Leave" , "Get lost!" , "Skedaddle" .)
