give an out
A well-disguised way out of a given situation; giving someone an opening to get out of something; providing an exit strategy.
A guy and his gf are arguing about a girl she saw him talking to at a party last night, when his homie walks up.
Gf: Who was that girl you were talking to?
Bf: What?
Gf: I saw you give her your phone.
Homie: What are y'all arguing about?
Gf: I saw him give some girl his phone last night.
Homie: Oh, you mean so-and-so. That was my phone. He was holding it for me, so I had asked her to get my phone from him for me.
Bf: Yeah, that's what I was trying to tell you.
Gf: Oh. I'm sorry babe.
Bf: It's fine.
