When you are trying to leave the party and after announcing your departure, the group is trying to convince you to stay. Followed by individuals that didn’t participate in the group discussion, asking you why are you going and also convincing you to stay. Often offering another drink. Life updates and last minute questions frequently used as a last resort holdup tactic. Expected average is 7-15 debates per event.
You messaged me that you will be home at 1:30 AM, and it’s 4 AM now. What happened? I had a proper balkan goodbye.

A customary ritual observed among cannabis enthusiasts entails a shared act between the host and the departing individual, wherein both partake in the inhalation from the vaping device prior to the guest's departure from the residence.
Before heading out the door, Alex reminded everyone that it was tradition to share a goodbye hit to properly conclude the evening.

Your lips say one thing
but the drugs say another
how can I massage
this inter-galactic ulcer?
Goodbye sober day
Hello milky way
Pin my ear to the wisdom post
Hang me up and drain me dry
Mend my shipwrecked spirit
Lift the veil from my eyes
but the drugs say another
how can I massage
this inter-galactic ulcer?
Goodbye sober day
Hello milky way
Pin my ear to the wisdom post
Hang me up and drain me dry
Mend my shipwrecked spirit
Lift the veil from my eyes
Goodbye sober day
The years grew wings and flew away
Ghosts of the past become barbarians
Of the future
And I still pity you
Because what you said was true
Goodbye sober day
Hello milky way
May your sun be blown out like a candle
May your sea burn like tar
May your sky be rolled up like a scroll
May your blue moon drip with blood
What would they say
If you went up in smoke?
If I dug you up
and made soup of your bones?

Akaki was a forward-thinking, strategic planner. He figured he should start his Georgian goodbye at around 6:30 PM so that he could be on the road home by 10:00 PM the latest. This is a very smart man.
