"French Exit" is merely a British equivalent of what is known in some places (mostly coastal cities in the northeast of the US) as the "Irish Goodbye." It describes a situation where someone covertly leaves a party/event/etc.. without saying goodbye. The French themselves call that "filer à l'anglaise" (to leave the English way)
