bail

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."
