What is Base Jump?
1.
To instantaneously extract yourself from a sub-optimal situation, often at great risk to your personal safety, professional reputation, or social standing
Original Use:
I just got called in to my partner's office to explain why the memo was late. All I wanted to do was to kick out a window and base jump the fuck outta there.
Modern Use:
Guy 1: I got caught in a conversation with Rufus again - that dude is so freakin' awkward.
Guy 2: I would have base jumped out of there by kicking him in the balls and running away.
