/Sounds like 'EER-seh al MAH-so'/
To drop out, step back from something, or quit a situation you no longer want to be part of. From the card game metaphor — when you fold, you're out, and nobody can make you play a hand you don't want.
Example
"I checked out of that meeting, it was a complete waste of time."
"If you don't like how things are going, walk away."
