dipping out
Slipping away unnoticed
Dipping out means leaving a place or situation, often abruptly or without much notice: I'm gonna dip out early tonight.
The phrase suggests a casual, sometimes stealthy departure—slipping away rather than making a formal exit.
In British slang, dipping out can also mean missing out on something or having bad luck: We dipped out on tickets.
