walks off
Exits in anger
Walks off means to leave abruptly, often to express displeasure or end an interaction: She walks off whenever we argue.
In sports, a walk-off hit or home run wins the game in the final inning, so named because the winning team walks off the field: He hit a walk-off homer in the ninth.
To walk off a feeling is to dispel it by walking: I need to walk off this frustration.
