Take the slide

To abruptly and publicly end your association with something, usually a job or relationship. Derives from former JetBlue airline attendant Stephen Slater's flamboyant exit from the industry, when he cursed out a passenger, grabbed two beers from the galley, activated the emergency slide and exited the plane.
If that a-hole Hanrahan makes me redo that report again, I swear to God I'm going to trash this place and take the slide.

Jenny threw a fit and said I had to go with her to that lame-ass Hummel figurines convention in Tulsa again, so I just grabbed my jacket and my toaster oven and took the slide.

Take two beers and pop the slide

To quit a job in dramatic fashion. Named after the flight attendant who got fed up, stole two beers, and popped the emergency slide.
Mike: Did you hear about David? He got so fed up at work that he punched his boss in the face and quit!

Bob: Wow, he really did take two beers and pop the slide.
