boss key

A designated key or combination of keys that allows a user to quickly switch off the leisure program they are currently using, avoiding pink slips by the boss. More elaborate programs will even go so far as to remove any trace of the program's running (e.g., by replacing the program's icon).

Media Player Classic's default 'boss key' is "B"

Oh snap, the boss is coming! Hide the porn! Quick, press the boss key!
