To leave or ditch (a place or person), usually implying that you leave someone else to get screwed or to be alone (or in trouble). It often is used to describe a revoke of a pledge to do something or be somewhere.

When the police (or courts) release you on the condition that you adhere to a set of strict rules e.g Don't leave the country, don't do whatever you did in the 1st place again etc, and also that you appear to answer your bail at a location selected by the police/courts i.e your nearest police station

Failure to do so, or "to breach your bail" would result in a warrant been issued for your arrest

Get the Bail mug.
A word that is used to abruptly cut off one's own story or statement before its completion due to boringness or irrelevance. Often used during a story that is important to the speaker that no one else cares about.

Can also be used (somewhat rudely) to effectively stop someone else's story/statement before it gets any worse.

* It should be noted that once the bail has occurred, the story is finished. The speaker may not go back to it (until they make it more interesting or relevant) and no questions may be asked about the story by the listeners.
Mike: "Yeah one time I was getting gas for my car and it was so cold outside and all I had was my emo jacket that's so thin it probably lowers my temperature rather than keeps me warm..." (blank or confused faces of listeners) Mike: "... ok BAIL." (sighs of relief)

Mike: "Yeah one time I was lifeguarding at the indoor pool and it was really humid inside... I can't remember if I was asleep or not...but I think something happened.."
Me: "I'm bailing for you."
Mike: (sullen) "Thank you."
Nice person who feels sorry for Mike: "What happened at the pool? I want to know."
Mike: "It's ok, I bailed."
