Sit This One Out Edit Meaning

1.

Popular Brit vernacular used when you just can't face taking part in something. First used in days of yore when people sat at the sides to miss a particular dance. Now it's used to skip meetings, when you're too drunk to dance with an ugly woman, or maybe skipping out on a party you know will suck weapon's grade ass.

"Dave, are you coming to Mike's birthday tonight?"

"Sorry mate, but he's a friendless loser, and I shagged his girlfriend. I think I'll Sit this one out, if that's alright with you".

"No worries fella."
