Anyone who has ever said goodbye with “Paris, Athens, goodbye” or “Sayonara Carbonara” knows that goodbyes can really hurt. Especially when they’re supposed to be funny.
We all know them, the long outdated puns, humorless idioms and currently particularly popular: farewells that give us goosebumps as soon as they are said out loud. We have collected for you a collection of the most creative farewell phrases that our editors have come across so far. You can decide for yourself after reading whether you want to make an impression or say goodbye to it straight away. We wish you a lot of fun with it.
Boomer goodbyes that hurt
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.
In the meantime, the so-called boomer farewells, which were previously 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
These farewells are the absolute “boomers” among empty phrases and made for not wanting to hear them again. So think carefully about whether and who you want to make happy with it.
