Getaway Car 

A metaphor for a situation in which someone finally gets away from an unwanted partner. Someone who has found a rebound after a breakup, may have used that rebound as a Getaway car.

A Getaway Car is usually a vehicle that criminals use to get away after they commit a crime. To a person who wants to leave an unhappy relationship, any excuse and circumstance can be used as a getaway car, such as pregnancy from an ex, emotional unavailability, or supposed death of a family member.

American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift coined this version of the term on her 2017 song Getaway Car.
“You really used your pregnancy from an ex as a Getaway Car to leave the person you’re currently seeing?”

“You cheated on your partner? That’s the perfect Getaway Car!!”

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
