walk off
Exit without warning
Walk off means to leave by walking, typically in a way that suggests abruptness or emotion.
If you walk off a job, you quit suddenly, often in protest or frustration.
In sports, a walk-off hit or walk-off home run wins the game in the final inning, ending play immediately—the losing team walks off the field.
You can also walk off a meal or a bad mood by taking a stroll to work through it physically.
