Buchanan Goodbye

Skipping out on a meal in an unannounced fashion prior to the completion of the meal, for the purpose of avoiding paying the check. A cheapskate variation of the Irish Goodbye.
One of the guys we were out with pulled a Buchanan Goodbye by climbing out the bathroom window just before dessert, the cheap bastard.

Shyla Goodbye 

Severe overreaction to a hangover resulting in the abandoning of a planned itinerary.
We went way too hard last night, we’re going to have to skip the rest of the trip and Shyla Goodbye

Irish Goodbye 

When someone makes an exit without advance notice or saying goodbye - thus avoiding any displaying any emotion.
When does Joanna work next? I was hoping to ask her about a shift swap.

Joanna doesn’t work here anymore. She gave us the Irish goodbye. Litterally - she resigned and went to Ireland.

Irish Goodbye 

In Germany we call this since a long time a "French Goodbye"! With the exception that this person "forgot" to pay his bill.
"Where's Karl? Who's paying the bill?" "Oh, I think he just did a french goodbye!"(German for Irish Goodbye)

The gift of goodbye 

A sarcastic parting commentary offered upon the exit of a particularly offensive or distasteful relationship.
So, I heard that you're no longer working at the bank.
Oh, so true. They've jacked up my paycheck for the last time. I gave them the gift of goodbye.
