Exit Ramp

Making an undesired phone call out of obligation with a hard stop that limits the duration.

"I always call my parents when I take the last exit ramp before my house, it gives me five minutes before I pull into the drive"

exit ramp

a metaphor to describe when a person creates a diversion for a friend in order to trick the person so that his friend can get somewhere with a girl he's with. the exit describes getting to the end point and the ramp is the time the person is taking to create the diversion while the friend slips by with the girl.

bob pulls into the street with jen and greg. dave and a girl are in the other car trying to get into the house against the will of jen since dave is her son and she is against one night stands. greg then makes conversation with jen and bob to create the diversion while dave and the girl slip into the house undetected and do what they were destined to do. that is an exit ramp
