Minnesotan Goodbye

Standard method of departing a Minnesotan social event or interaction. After a person announces he or she is leaving, person and host proceed to talk for 30 - 60 more minutes in the doorway or parking lot before leaving. Length of time between announcement of departure and actual exit is directly proportional to length of the relationship and inversely proportional to the outdoor air temperature.

Lars: "Well we better head out, great party, though. Awesome beer."

Sven: "Oh fer sure, the beer was home brewed, donchaknow."

*Lars and Sven stand in Erik's foyer and go on a tangent about microbrews for an hour.

Lars: "Oh look at the time, sorry to do a Minnesotan goodbye!"

goodbye punk pie

This is a sarcastic dismissal of a punk band or pose due to it being imitative vs. creative.

The Leisure Suits looked like a bad 1979 band, so we said goodbye punk pie!

Armenian goodbye

An "Armenian goodbye" is when a group of Armenian friends or family are saying goodbye to each other, but it takes a very long time. These friends or family might even go around and say goodbye to the same person twice or three times before actually leaving. This process can take such a long time because everyone keeps having more conversations as they are saying their goodbye's.

In a situation where friends or family are taking a long time to say goodbye, you might say, "This is such an Armenian goodbye."

goodbye waiter

A person who will publicly announce their intention to leave a place, whether it be in real life or on the internet, but will not actually leave until enough people have said 'bye' to them. Often, they will re-announce their intention of leaving multiple times.

"Man, Chris, is such a goodbye waiter. I don't know why he needs everyone in the place to acknowledge that he's leaving, he must be insecure about something."

Italian Goodbye

The act of leaving a social event with a prolonged goodbye, similar to Italian families, due to hugging each individual and spawning new topics of discussion in an endless cycle i.e. "Wait, before you leave let me show you what I've done to the lawn!", which leads to a discussion about how nobody ever helps you at Lowe's, which leads to something politically driven, which leads to Brad Pitt, which leads to a funny anecdote about how you all got really drunk last Cinco de Mayo, which leads to having another shot, which leads to watching a funny YouTube video you just thought of, which leads to how strange people are, which leads to "oh shit I have work tomorrow I really need to leave", which leads to another round of goodbye hugs, which leads to one more meatball for the road, which leads to "take some home with you", which leads to acid reflux, which leads to drug commercials...Etc.

Hunny I swear I was planning on leaving the party at 11, but once I finally said goodbye to everyone Steve brought up STAR WARS and I got stuck in an Italian Goodbye for the last 3 hours.
