to break away
to crap out
to escape
to fly, flew, flown
to get off
to go south
to make off
to pull out
to run away
to scour off
to scuttle away
to scuttle off
to show a clean pair of heels
to take one's heels
to take to one's heels
to come off with a whole skin
to save one's skin
to escape by the skin of one's teeth
to escape by the skin of one's teeth
to escape by the skin of one's teeth
