1) getting so drunk at a party that one wanders off into the woods to wake up wondering "where's my underwear" and "this wolf lends new meaning to 'coyote ugly'" circa late 19th/early 20th centuries, usually derogatory reference to Irish ancestry and careless intoxication;
2) to do a thing without permission (especially to leave: as to leave a post, charge, elected/appointed office, husband/wife, or social position)
3) other versions:
3 a) the "French leave" circa 18th century English (citation: Merriam Webster: 1768-71) and references a party-goer exiting without properly taking "leave" of the host, often when wine has compromised coherency or motor function, or when disgraced by social or political position, behavior, or opinion;
3 b) filer ร l'anglaise (FR) ("to leave English style")
3 c) ฮฌฮดฮตฮนฮฑ ฮฑฯฯ ฯฮท ฯฮทฮผฮฑฮฏฮฑ (Greek) ("leave on lowering of the flag (without discharge)") essentially to abandon one's post at nightfall
3 d) despedida a la francesa (Sp) ("goodbye in the French way", "French farewell")
3 e) most European languages reference "in the English way" with dates of common usage suggesting association with derogatory reflection on English civil wars, Welsh conflicts, Irish independence, and even a resurgence of usage with Brexit. Spanish and English reference French with derogatory connotation. English adds Irish, Scotch, Welsh, and Boer.

Leaving quietly out the side door of a party or bar without saying goodbye to anyone. Mostly due to the fact that family or friends would most likely take your keys away for being to intoxicated.
next morning:
Irish goodbye O'leary? You should not have been driving!

leaving the bar or anywhere for that matter, without closing niceties, like a kiss goodbye to that annoying girl or mentioning something to your friends

Abandoning your friends at a party/bar/dinner without saying a single word to any of them, usually resulting from being very intoxicated. California Irish Goodbye's are risky for the DUI exposure. Also deserting your buds 10-20 miles away from their residence deserves an ass kicking.
Where's John at, I haven't seen him for over an hour.
I dunno, someone mentioned he did a sneaky California Irish goodbye a while ago.
