English term or phrase: carl was always mad at debbie, until he bailed
I don't quite understand that word "bail". I don't know what they mean. We don't know if he was in jail, or if he is free now but watched by a policeman. I understand something like "huyó" or "desapareció" but I don't know if this word may mean something like that. Thanks.

I would call this use of \"bail\" part of \"surfer dialect\" (at least here in California)
