Urgent help

Can you help me understand this sentence. I can �t get its meaning especially the verb �flank out �. This is the sentence where I have found it. I checked dictionaries but in vain.
"I can �t understand why you flanked out this test. It �s absolutely a piece of cake."

When you fail a test - you flunk - or flunk out.
The past tense of flunk is flunked.
It �s not an irregular verb - so flanked is wrong.
At least I never heard of that before and it sounds totally wrong.
No wonder you couldn �t find an answer.
I can �t understand why you flunked out on this test - It �s absolutely a piece of cake.
(piece of cake means really easy)
Hope this helps
