When leaving a party, I learned a trick from a friend.

Rather than starting the painful process of saying goodbye to everyone, or having to wait for the herd to thin out, you just casually stroll out.

If anyone asks you say “I am going to the car to get a sweater”

What does the phrase an Irish Goodbye mean?

Are you sick of hanging around at a celebration after you're ready to go home and have to say goodbye to everyone present? Then you need to know about "the Irish goodbye." The origins of the Irish Goodbye, where guests at a public event abruptly leave without saying goodbye, are lost to history.

@iain this is beautiful
Whoa! It seems so similar to the customs of southern Italy.
@andrea da napoletana ho sempre trovato gli Irlandesi i napoletani d’Europa, almeno fino a quando li frequentavo con una certa costanza 20 anni fa (Dublino è molto cambiata)
