Balkan Goodbye

When you are trying to leave the party and after announcing your departure, the group is trying to convince you to stay. Followed by individuals that didn’t participate in the group discussion, asking you why are you going and also convincing you to stay. Often offering another drink. Life updates and last minute questions frequently used as a last resort holdup tactic. Expected average is 7-15 debates per event.
You messaged me that you will be home at 1:30 AM, and it’s 4 AM now. What happened? I had a proper balkan goodbye.

Telephonic Irish Goodbye

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.

Kris-Goodbye

Like an Irish goodbye, but you do it at your own house while having people over.
Man you pulled a Kris-Goodbye again last night!

Dirty Irish Goodbye

When one or more parties leave a restaurant without telling anyone they are leaving and without paying any part of the group bill.
Jason: Where did Lucas and John go? The bill is $200 and they never paid.

Jim: They walked out the door like 5 minutes ago. Looks like they pulled a dirty Irish goodbye.

boston goodbye

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.

Hard Goodbye

Tobacco, Kush, and Kief all in the same beautiful bowl pack. Normally with tobacco on the bottom, weed in the middle, and kief on top. Most likely to be done with a bong. Champions of the practice will use spoons and other pieces.
It's time for a nice hard goodbye before bedtime.

Batman Goodbye

A distant relative to the Irish goodbye, the Batman goodbye is the art of leaving without a word—but only when you’re hanging out with just one other person.

It’s the same sudden, silent exit, but on a more intimate, one-on-one scale, leaving the other person wondering if you were ever really there at all.
