vontae

To leave your workplace/a social event/a party with only a cursory explanation or without telling friends that you are leaving. Can also be used as a noun, e.g. to pull a vontae. A similar term is the Irish Exit.

The term came into use after the retirement of Vontae Davis, formerly a professional football player for the NFL's Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts, and Buffalo Bills. While playing for the Bills in a game on September 16, 2018, Vontae abruptly removed himself from the game during the first half, telling coaches only that he was "done" and was retiring from the NFL. Vontae put on his street clothes at halftime and left the stadium. Most of his teammates didn't know what had happened until after the game.

This was the first and only time that an NFL player retired from the sport at halftime of a game.
Guy 1: This place sucks. Let's vontae.
Guy 2: Yeah let's get out of here.

Guy: What happened to you at the party last night? I couldn't find you anywhere.
Girl: Sorry, I got drunk and pulled a vontae.
