Definition

To evacuate a location with extreme urgency and speed, usually because something bad is about to go down. Born from the idea of 'booking' or moving fast, it's the universal signal that it's time to make yourself scarce. Perfect for when authority figures appear or awkward situations arise.

Example Usage

I just saw my ex walk into the party with their new partner—time to book it out the back door.
