The Portuguese Goodbye

"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."

The hard goodbye

Another word for suicide.

Before giving himself the hard goodbye, a strange tranquility came over him, and he was ready to face whatever is after.

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

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.
