The Irish goodbye becomes famous

wow...I've never heard the term but I have been practicing this "custom" for years. Thanks...I feel a little less guilty now.

Never associated with the Irish; but it could be. I have used the technique when I found myself not in control of my immediate destiny, such as the introduction of certain controlled substances. One does have to choose the right moment to time to disappear. I have also admonished my children (now grown) to never hesitate to leave any out- of-control situation. Discretion is the better part of valor

I did an "Irish goodbye" at my 40Th High School reunion party. I did have a good time at the reunion too, go figure.

Michael: "I didnh't know it was called that...and why is it Irish??" ---ooo---ooo--- Because this is an Irish web site.

And oppositely, we have what we, in my family, call the Polish goodbye. That's when it takes you nearly an hour to say goodbye! lol I love the IGB! I never heard it called that before but I have utilized it! lol This is great!

I didnh't know it was called that...and why is it Irish??
