early out
When you leave your job before it's over. Usually because you’re lazy or you have a stupid excuse like needing to go to karate practice or your pet chicken died.
I left work early because I had to go to karate practice, even though I haven’t had a belt in six years.
I got an early out because my pet chicken died, it was a tragic, real-life event.
I said I had to go to my grandma’s house for early out, she’s 92 and lives 10 minutes away.
