hall pass

Noun: An imaginary pass or permission slip, granted by one's spouse, BF, or GF to go out socially with friends.

This colloquial phrase did NOT imply any romantic or sexual encounters. It pre-dated the 2010 comedy film ("Hall Pass") by several decades. This definition relates to adults. This phrase is commonly used by people who attended US schools in the 1960's - 80's.

SYN: see "Permission Slip" and "Kitchen Pass"

Hall Pass

This version of "Hall Pass" does not refer to being a student and school days gone-by. In this version it refers to the permission given to go out with the guys (instead of fulfilling either girlfriend or wife duties / obligations / quality time / etc). The Hall Pass can come in half-day, full-day or even hourly increments. It is something to be prized, cherished and used judiciously for it is not an easy thing to obtain. It can only be obtained by verbal (or written) consent from said girlfriend or wife.

Craig called up the gang and sadly informed them that he would not be joining them at the race-track this coming Saturday. He couldn't get the hall pass, not even for a few hours.
