Saved By The Bell
Rescued from an awkward or bad situation at the very last moment.
Examples
- I was about to answer that awkward question in front of everyone, but my phone started ringing — totally saved by the bell.
- If this presentation runs long, we'll be saved by the bell when the next speaker shows up.
- Don't sweat it now; worst-case, you'll be saved by the bell like you were at the family dinner.
