"The Portuguese Goodbye" refers to a parting of ways that unfolds slowly over tens of minutes, typically involving different people taking turns reviving and extending a conversation that appears to all non-Portuguese participants as having already reached its natural conclusion.
"I learned about the Portuguese Goodbye by watching my in-laws take 30 to 45 minutes to say goodbye to one another at conclusion of Sunday dinners."

Get the Persian goodbyemug. When someone is texting you, and mid conversation, especially when you’re expecting a response, they simply stop texting. Some blame falling asleep or being distracted, but some are prone to it, while others are not.
Dude, I was texting my girl last night and asked her how her bar tending shift went, and once again out of no where she gave me the telephonic Irish goodbye. When we texted this morning it’s like last night’s conversation never happened.

Get the Telephonic Irish Goodbyemug. Old-school way of ousting someone from the community as retribution for wrongdoing without involving the police. Quietly telling everyone (bouncers, bartenders, grocery store cashiers, mail carriers, blockbuster employees, etc.) about the person’s misdeed so that no one will serve them or help them anywhere in the neighborhood and they have no choice but to move.
A form a vigilante justice.

“He robbed your car and raped your sister, and you’re not calling the police?!”
“Nah. We’re givin’ him the old Boston Goodbye, and he’ll be outta Southie for good.”
*note, the word c-a-r is pronounced CAwh.

Get the Balkan Goodbyemug. Your lips say one thing
but the drugs say another
how can I massage
this inter-galactic ulcer?
Goodbye sober day
Hello milky way
Pin my ear to the wisdom post
Hang me up and drain me dry
Mend my shipwrecked spirit
Lift the veil from my eyes
but the drugs say another
how can I massage
this inter-galactic ulcer?
Goodbye sober day
Hello milky way
Pin my ear to the wisdom post
Hang me up and drain me dry
Mend my shipwrecked spirit
Lift the veil from my eyes
Goodbye sober day
The years grew wings and flew away
Ghosts of the past become barbarians
Of the future
And I still pity you
Because what you said was true
Goodbye sober day
Hello milky way
May your sun be blown out like a candle
May your sea burn like tar
May your sky be rolled up like a scroll
May your blue moon drip with blood
What would they say
If you went up in smoke?
If I dug you up
and made soup of your bones?
Goodbye sober day
The years grew wings and flew away

And I still pity you
