A certain amount of time that is given to the male in a relationship by the female to do whatever he wants with friends of him without consequences (including sex, drinking, etc.).
Male: "Can I have a hall pass this weekend, Babe?"
Female: "Sure, but don't get in too much trouble."
When all was said and done, though their husbands might have looked around at females, the oneperson that actually cheated of the four main characters in Hall Pass was Grace. Everyone else held their marriage vows sacred to some degree, since looking, thinking, or talking about sex isn't the same thing as toying around with love.
Grace was the one character in Hall Pass heartless enough to actually cheat, because their was no balance of power in her relationship with Fred, she had all the power of two people. Though Grace would be the kind of person to try and expose the double standards of others, she lived by a different set of standards than the ones she expected of her husband, and couldn't see her own for what they were. Why would any guy want to be married to somebody like that? Since some of them do think with a head other than the one on their dick, despite some females not really wanting to allow them to resist thinking with a head that is easier to control on a guy.
She makes up a reason to fight with a man to either go out with friends to party, or get laid by another man and brakes off a relation ship only to start again without cheating on that person.
Friday-its not you, it's me. I don't need to answer you or be accountable for where or with who I'm seeing this weekend. Hall pass. Monday- let's not talk about the fight or where or who I was with this weekend because I still wanna be in a relation shit.
