Minnesota Goodbye

The act applying to most Minnesotants while visiting others in which, when one person has to leave, they proceed to talk for another hour, then the departing party is walked to the front door, where they talk for another hour, then the departing party gets walked to their car while the host family talks to them through the car window for an hour, and finally the departing couple SLOWLY departs down the drive, yelling back & forth with the host family.

The couple from Texas was extremely irritated by the Minnesota Goodbye they received while visiting their distant relatives.

Minnesota goodbye

The Minnesota goodbye is the process Minnesotans go through when saying goodbye at a get together or party. The process is rarely short – normally it lasts between 10 and 30 minutes and involves commonplace conversations, often an extension of what folks were talking about earlier at the get-together.

The Minnesota goodbye kept them out standing in the cold until they had minor frostbite.

Minnesota goodbye

When a man finishes inside of his partner, and leaves his "member" inside for an awkwardly long time; then makes polite conversation for far too long before pulling out.

Sven gave Lena the ol "Minnesota goodbye", as it's the only polite way to chat post coitus.

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!"
