Legs-it
Hi,
The following is the title of an https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/britains-legs-it-scandal-was-sexist--but-theyre-still-way-ahead-of-us/2017/03/31/d268ae26-165a-11e7-9e4f-09aa75d3ec57_story.html?utm_term=.354ff125f24f on Washington Post.
Britain’s ‘Legs-it’ scandal was sexist — but they’re still way ahead of us.
Would anyone please explain what "legs-it" means?
Many thanks!

0"Leg it" is not only word play on Brexit, it is an informal expression that means "run very fast to escape or get away from a situation." They are remarking on the ministers' relatively quick action to escape from the EU.
