the english goodbye

Used by Europeans, especially from central & eastern Europe, to describe a passive aggressive person who wants to say "no" to a proposition but is either too embarrassed or feeble to come right out with it, so drags things out until you get bored and/or get the message. Based on the alleged characteristic of the English who drift away from parties without really saying "goodbye"

Vlad: these guys have been negotiating for weeks but they never get to a decision
Boris: give up - their giving you the english goodbye, mate

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.

Mexican goodbye

When you say good bye but don't leave and instead stick around for another drink or so. This cycle is repeated until finally, for real, you leave.

"My mom is the queen of Mexican goodbyes, she says bye to everyone then orders another margarita and sticks around for another hour."

Goodbye Piss

When you stop somewhere after a long drive, you leave one of these in their restrooms when you leave, because you know you won't see a restroom for a while.

Person: "I'm gonna leave a goodbye piss here, I've got a long drive."
Person 2: "Alright."

Jesus Goodbye

When someone announces their departure from a social gathering, disappears for a while, and then unexpectedly returns, much like Jesus' resurrection.

Tom executed the ultimate Jesus goodbye at the dinner party, informing everyone he was heading home, only to reappear an hour later with a fresh round of drinks
