Old-school way of ousting someone from the community as retribution for wrongdoing without involving the police. Quietly telling everyone (bouncers, bartenders, grocery store cashiers, mail carriers, blockbuster employees, etc.) about the person’s misdeed so that no one will serve them or help them anywhere in the neighborhood and they have no choice but to move.
A form a vigilante justice.
“He robbed your car and raped your sister, and you’re not calling the police?!”
“Nah. We’re givin’ him the old Boston Goodbye, and he’ll be outta Southie for good.”
*note, the word c-a-r is pronounced CAwh.

When your Balkan partner says goodbye to the host/hostess of the party and a new set off conversations begin as if they haven't seen each other in years.
1st phase: Sitting down, Balkan person says goodbye to Balkan host and a new conversational topic arises 10 min.
2nd phase: You stand up, says goodbye then start talking about something else 15 min
3rd phase: You walk to the door, says goodbye, then new topic 15 min.
4th phase: You make it outside but still by the door 15 more min.
5th phase: 10 more minutes talking outside of your car (without getting in)
6th phase: You make it in the car but you pull down your window for something she forgot to say, 5 min.
You drive off.
"Thank you so much for having us. I really liked your Mititei (Romanian Meatballs) Let me tell you about the Balkan store I go to." The trigger of the Balkan Goodbye
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.

Maryland goodbye: when gathering with a group, saying multiple goodbyes in various stages with new conversations in-between goodbyes. At the table, then standing by the table or front door of restaurant, then again outside of the restaurant. The total process takes a minimum of 15 minutes, there is no maximum time limit
Antonym: Irish Goodbye
I would have been home right after dinner, but I got caught up in a Maryland goodbye, and couldn't get out of there
When you jerk off for so long you're dick goes into a coma when you're done you're left talking with a jersey accent
You see that guy,I heard he gave himself a Jersey Goodbye
The act of not requiring someone to bid one or more other humans farewell if doing so would be too emotionally distressing. Or the uncomfortable person himself decides to just "sneak out early" before others are awake to observe his departure, so that he doesn't have to endure the whole "long tearful parting" crap that would otherwise be "socially mandatory" if the other folks knew he was leaving.
A prime example of "waiving goodbye" is related in the classic "origin of the yodel" joke: the traveler heads out "at first cock's crow" from the farmer's barn where he'd been sleeping overnight, so that there wouldn't be any embarrassing --- and possibly dangerous! --- explaining to do if the farmer's wife and/or daughter decided to do any joyful "crowing" of their own about the wonderful things that the traveler had performed with his own "cock" on them the previous evening when they had separately gone out to the barn to bring him food and wine for his supper.
