Phrase or one word request for 'Bitch pass' [closed]

Solution 1:

We can cut them some slack during a difficult time.

Solution 2:

Excusing shoddy behavior because we understand someone is going through difficult times is "pity" (as much as we care about their troubles) and "mercy" since they are doing something wrong and we forbear. The person who needs the pity and is in a position to receive it (if their trials are understandable, say.) is "pitiable".

"Give a pass" and "let it slide" are both forms of "Excuse" (v), as well as examples of being "merciful", "understanding", "forgiving", and "magnanimous". (In archaic English, these could also be described as pitiful, but somehow pitiable and pitiful became synonyms.)

Magnanimity is the elevated mind that accepts personal discomforts and such to make the world a better place. Having mercy on someone in a situation where people, as a rule, need such, certainly qualifies.

The "pass" itself is the "Excuse" (n).
