Hall pass
의미: A written permission slip allowing a student to be in the hallway during class; figuratively, permission to do something normally not allowed.
In American schools, a hall pass is the literal piece of paper that lets you leave class to go to the bathroom or the nurse. Figuratively, a 'hall pass' means getting permission to do something you normally couldn't — often used humorously in relationships (a 'hall pass' to flirt with a celebrity) or at work.
