How it's used
Refers specifically to the end of a tenure within a student society or club at a university. It carries a strong sense of relief, as the commitment required for such roles is notoriously time consuming and stressful. The term is deeply embedded in local campus culture and is rarely used outside of that context.
Examples
When are you finally going to step down from the committee?

Common mistake
Do not use this term for professional or corporate resignations, as it is strictly limited to student organizations. Using it in a workplace setting would sound very strange and overly informal.
