But the Get out of jail free card also has another meaning. And that's the one I love.
Get out of free jail card in everyday life
The meaning of the Get out of jail free card is very well described on Dictionary.com:

Let's say you have to go to party, but you're an introvert and you're really dreading it. You struggle with yourself: you feel you should go, even though you réálly, really don't want to. In the end you decide to make a break for it, and you call the friend who's hosting the party and explain how you feel. And then she goes:
'Oh, that's totally fine! I understand. Parties are just not for you. We'll get together another time.'
Now, that's my favorite Get out of jail free card!
