named after a former Australian Prime Minister who mysteriously disappeared while at a beach to never be seen again. When a person uses it in conversation, he/she is about to go off somewhere without giving any explanation as to why or where.
It has a clever double meaning, since it’s also rhyming slang for “bolt”, which means to leave suddenly, and where getting away from where you are now is more important than whatever your destination is.
