slip out

Exit without detection

Slip out means to leave quietly or unobtrusively, often without being noticed: I slipped out during the intermission.

It also describes words escaping unintentionally: The secret slipped out before I could stop myself.

Something that slips out comes forth without deliberate effort or permission—a person through a door, a remark past the lips.
