pulling the chute

Leaving an event or night out at a club early because it is lame/boring and not always telling the people you came with

If I'm still hungover Saturday, I'll be pulling the chute early and bookin it for home.

Pull The Chute

To backout, drop out of or give up on something.

Derived from the use of parachutes in sky diving. The diver "pulls the chute" on the dive at a certain point where he/she deems safe.

"Bob 'pulled the chute' on class again." This translates to the following:

Bob skipped class again.

In conversation:
Mike: "Where's Bob?"
Tony: "He pulled the chute again."

Short forms:

pulled chute

The act of removing yourself from an awkward or undesirable social situation just like one would deploy a parachute to stop a freefall.

I needed my wingman to hop on the grenade. He did but after 10 minutes could no longer stand it so he pulled chute and got out of there.
