exit man 

A man used for the purpose of helping one end a more serious relationship. Someone you date (and planned to date previous to the breakup) to help you get over your ex.

After 3 years with Luke, I knew it needed to end. I called my ex and had a date set up for the planned break-up day. It lasted about a month... just long enough for me to get over Luke but not long enough to fall for my exit man.

Brown Man's Exit 

When you avoid an otherwise unavoidable instance of having to pay, at the last possible opportunity.

An unexpected hope when there shouldn't be, but only when the consequences are minor.

Cheap desperation is the crux of the "brown man's exit."

We could pay the toll or take the brown man's exit and find another way.
