How Do You Say Goodbye?

September 16, 2023 By Cutter Slagle Leave a Comment

If you think about it, there are many ways to say goodbye. Farewell. Au revoir. Adios. Ciao. One of my personal favorites: Fuck off. Cheers. Though, just because there are so many ways to say goodbye, it doesn’t always—or ever—make saying goodbye any easier. For starters, the word goodbye is so definitive, so final.
