if that happens, dodge it

A conditional "-(으)면" plus 피하다, "avoid, dodge". Two flavours show up. Physical: dodge when the gun goes off, dodge the charging bull, roll forward and you get out of the way. Social: I avoided eye contact, I steer clear when he comes around. Two lines use the set phrase 웬만하면 "if at all possible" — November and January are months to avoid, conflict is something you'd rather not have. Compare 어서 피하다, which names how you dodged rather than setting the condition.
