Boomer farewells are becoming a trend
When at some point during the day the clock switches to closing time, it is time for all colleagues to say goodbye. Of course, you could just close your laptop and then disappear with a banal “Bye”, but that would be kind of boring. Another option: You say goodbye with more or less funny puns and leave your colleagues with either a mischievous smile or a puzzled look.
Meanwhile, the so-called boomer goodbyes, now used more within the Gen Z bubble, have become a real trend. More and more people are making use of the original puns when saying goodbye and are no longer sure whether they mean it ironically or whether it has already become established in their everyday language.
Here’s a collection of the funniest goodbyes we’ve seen so far:
- Federal garden ciao
- chewing gum
- San Franchussko
- ciaokel horse
- Hauste Rhineland, Palatinate we will not see each other again
- On savoy cabbage
- To Gdansk
- Right, left, wave, wave
- See you Peter
- Goodbye muesli
- Goodbye squirrel
- Tesseldorf
- See you latersil
- Hau Ryan-Air
For all those who are now wondering what boomers actually are, let’s explain briefly. Originally, the term “boomers” described people who were born at the time of the “baby boom”. This applies to the period from the mid-1950s to the late 1960s. In the meantime, however, the term “boomer” is no longer simply used to describe people of this generation in a neutral way. Instead, the word “boomer” is also used by young people as a stereotypical description of outdated beliefs. But let’s be honest: Basically, it doesn’t matter whether empty phrases are made so that you don’t want to hear them again. The main thing is that they put a smile on our faces.
