Breakout? I only have a breakdown board (it's a desk that I cry at)

Lunch is on the breadboard in the break room.

This is a deep cut nerd joke. I approve.

I am unenlightened and have no context

Breakout boards are common tools. They are PCBs that let you connect for example a programmable microchip on a socket to then expose its contacts to larger testpads or a USB connection. This board however has literally broken out of its ESD bag, a common plastic bag used to package electronics while protecting them from static electricity. One might say it has breached ESD confinement.
