hall pass
Student wandering license
A hall pass is a written or printed slip that a student carries to show they have permission to be outside the classroom during school hours, typically to use the restroom or visit the nurse.
The term has extended into adult contexts, where it often refers humorously to permission granted by a spouse or partner to do something ordinarily off-limits, such as a one-time romantic encounter with someone else.
My wife gave me a hall pass for the concert since she hates that band.
