escape hatch 

In the context of a blind date, an escape hatch is a pre-arranged call placed by a friend to your cell phone shortly after the start time of the date. If the date is going well, the call can be ignored. If the date is a nightmare so far, you answer, pretend that the caller is informing you of an emergency that requires your presence, then excuse yourself immediately. This allows you to cut the date short without embarrassing either party. The phrase can also refer to the friend who places the call.

You: Hey, I have a date with that guy from nerve.com at 8:00; can you be my escape hatch?
Friend: You want me to call you at 8:30 or 9:00?

"escape hatch" sneeze 

Refers to a humongous "ah-choo!" that you consciously "divert" or "re-direct" the air-blast force of through your throat and out your mouth --- rather than letting it travel its "standard" path through your sinuses and out your nose --- thereby reducing the risk of a "wet 'n' messy" spray from your nostrils. Of course, you should still always cover your nose and mouth to minimize germy emanations in any case.

Performing the "escape hatch" sneeze can indeed often allow for cleaner nasal-cannon discharging, but it can also lead to hoarseness and a painful throat if excessively utilized in a fairly short period of time.

mexican escape hatch 

Found in a portable toilet or port-o-let at a construction site. It is the lid that closes the toilet which is believed to be a tunnel that leads to Mexico that many of the workers at the construction site have emerged from.

Man are there any Americans employed by this contractor or does he just open the Mexican escape hatch to find a crew.

Baby escape hatch

When a woman’s pussy is so bad, it’s good for nothing more than pushing kids out of. A blown out cunt, wrecked hole.

Jan's pussy is so fucking destroyed, it’s only good for a baby escape hatch at this point.

Italian Escape Hatch 

All cars since 2001 have had a trunk emergency release (located inside of the trunk). This has prevented mafia types, hit men, etc. from using newer cars when kidnapping victims.

Joey owed like 6 dimes to Vinny's crew, so they picked him up and shoved him in the trunk. Lucky for him, the numbnuts didn't realize their car had an Italian escape hatch, and he busted out of there at the first stop sign.
