Dexit

(politics) The hypothetical withdrawal of Germany from the European Union.
- 2019 January 14, Justin Huggler, “Germany's AfD backs away from Dexit call as France's Le Pen pledges to reform EU from within”, in The Daily Telegraph‎^[1]:
  The AfD had planned to put a call for “Dexit” at the heart of its manifesto for May’s European parliament elections, with a pledge to leave the EU by 2024 unless the bloc is radically reformed. […] Originally founded to oppose the single currency, the AfD has previously shied away from calling for Dexit in a country where 75 per cent of people believe EU membership is beneficial, according to a poll last year.

Blend of Denmark +‎ exit, modeled on Brexit.

Dexit

(politics) The hypothetical withdrawal of Denmark from the European Union.
- 2018 April 3, Jon Stone, “Euroscepticism plummets in Denmark as consequences of Brexit become clear”, in The Independent‎^[2]:
  Support for 'Dexit' falls sharply since Brexit […] Euroscepticism has fast lost support in Denmark as the consequences of Britain’s vote for Brexit become clearer, new polling suggest.
- 2022 June 1, Richard Milne, “Denmark votes to end EU defence opt-out in historic referendum”, in Financial Times‎^[3]:
  Many had seen Denmark as a possible candidate to follow the UK out of the EU, but even the Danish People’s party has backed away from Dexit, while the government has turned from London to Berlin on a number of policies.

Blend of Pokédex +‎ exit. Also a pun on Brexit.

Dexit

(Pokémon, fandom slang) The decision by Game Freak to make the National Pokédex absent from Pokémon Sword and Shield as well as for many Pokémon to be completely unavailable in these games.
- 2022 November 18, Jhaan Elker, “After ‘Pokémon Scarlet’ and ‘Violet,’ we can’t give Game Freak a pass”, in The Washington Post‎^[4]:
  Game Freak came clean, stating that it simply couldn’t include all Pokémon in the games — a first for the series — because of technical limitations. This controversy, known as Dexit by the fans, might have prompted less blowback if Game Freak could show that its decision led to better graphics and performance.

Modeled on Brexit.
