ball out
Leave via parachute
Ball out means to live extravagantly or spend money lavishly, flaunting wealth through expensive purchases, parties, or lifestyle choices: We're going to ball out tonight.
The term comes from hip-hop culture, where balling suggests living large like a professional athlete.
It can also mean to perform exceptionally well or go all out: She balled out in the championship game.
