split
verb, slang
- to leave a place

The various definitions of the verb split include "to leave," a slang term that was popularized around the Beatnik period of the 1950s and 1960s. This era was a media characterization of the so-called Beat Generation, which was a literary movement that rejected conventional lifestyles.
A columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper coined the term Beatnik by adding the suffix –nik to the word beat (as in Beat Generation). The addition of the suffix was a reference to Sputnik, the world’s first artificial satellite launched by Russia and a symbol of the Cold War.
Other Beatnik-era slang that one might still hear includes:
- cool = excellent, outstanding (That’s a cool car)
- cool = acceptable, satisfactory (If you don’t want to go with us, that’s cool)
- bread = money (I didn’t make a lot of bread out of college)
- cat = a man with style (He’s a cool cat)
- kicks = enjoyment (I get my kicks by riding my motorcycle on the weekend)
- pad = residence, home (Let’s split and head over to my pad for a beer)
- dig = to understand or comprehend (I dig what you’re saying)
- gas = something exciting, enjoyable (That party was a gas)
