To leave something early. This definition appeared when on the 25th March, Zayn Malik left 1D, before the tour or the 5th album were over (basically, before his contract finished). Directioners use it sometimes, and they estimate on 2017, when 1D's break is over, it will turn into a carrot joke.
Sorry man, I have to zayn because I have to go to the dentist's today.
