Absquatulate

It means to leave without warning, to levant (another of my favourite words!), and I like it because something about the sound of it makes me think about people sneaking away walking like crabs (like Dr. Zoidberg in Futurama).

  Perhaps it gives you that strange Futurama image because it has the word squat in the middle?
