southern goodbye

saying goodbye only to talk for another 10-20 minutes and then saying bye again only for the cycle to repeat itself until one of the parties makes a excuse to leave for real

the exact opposite of a Irish goodbye

joe: “ hey man we should get going soon”
aaron: “we don’t have to leave for another 20 minutes tho?”
joe: “ i know but alex does a southern goodbye”

Southern California Goodbye

A customary way that friends in Southern California leave events together: two or more people walk to one person's car, and that person drives everyone back to their cars.

The Southern California Goodbye is a response to lack of public transit in a region which is now literally over 14% parking lot (not counting freeways, which in Southern California are also effectively parking lots).

SoCal person A: Where did you park?
SoCal person B: This side of the parking lot. You?
SoCal person A: That side of the parking lot.
SoCal person B: That's hella far. Southern California Goodbye?
SoCal person A: Thanks fam.
