Balkan Goodbye

When your Balkan partner says goodbye to the host/hostess of the party and a new set off conversations begin as if they haven't seen each other in years.

1st phase: Sitting down, Balkan person says goodbye to Balkan host and a new conversational topic arises 10 min.

2nd phase: You stand up, says goodbye then start talking about something else 15 min
3rd phase: You walk to the door, says goodbye, then new topic 15 min.
4th phase: You make it outside but still by the door 15 more min.
5th phase: 10 more minutes talking outside of your car (without getting in)
6th phase: You make it in the car but you pull down your window for something she forgot to say, 5 min.

You drive off.

Denver Goodbye

An especially memorable sexual encounter just before parting ways with a loved one.

My girlfriend just texted me and told me she just got wet remembering the Denver goodbye I railed into her a couple months ago.

Persian goodbye

A Persian Goodbye is when you spend 3 hours saying bye to everyone at the mehmooni, get all the way to the door, and then end up going back in for more chai.

“We meant be come home by 7pm but the Persian Goodbye kept us there for three more hours”

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."
