Good Day Sir 

A quick and curt way to end a conversation, putting a thin polite spin on the rude abruptness.

Most uses of this phrase are referencing actor Gene Wilder's portrayal of Willy Wonka in the 1971 movie "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," where Wonka informs Charlie he has lost the contest because he drank the burp soda, a breach in the contract he signed. "You lose! Good day, SIR!" Wonka screams at Charlie before turning back to his desk.

Linking to an animated gif of the scene with the audio intact is a popular way to assert you are done with an argument on the internet.

Good Day Sir 

One day, two marijuana enthusiasts smoked some rather potent weed. This weed did things to them like nothing they had ever smoked before. At the end of the night one of the stoners dropped off the second stoner, but before driving away he shouted "Good Day Sir" and drove off without saying another word. Ever since that day stoners occasionally use this expression in place of saying "goodbye"

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
