slide out
Withdraw along tracks
Slide out describes smooth, quiet departure—physically moving from a space or socially exiting a situation without drawing attention.
Someone slides out of a booth at a restaurant or slides out of a party before the speeches start.
The phrase suggests ease and minimal friction: I'm going to slide out early tonight.
It can also describe something emerging from a compartment or slot: The keyboard slides out from under the desk.
