j_elgatoWhen did people start saying "have a good rest of your day"
Sometime after sunrise.
I think it’s an influencer thing. It really irks me. Also, the phrase, “Your guys’es”, as in, “Let me know what your guys’es experience is in the comments” .
Sorry…“yinz”? Where is that a thing? Never once heard it used in my life
WhiteOakBayouPittsburgh and similar areas of Pennsylvania I think
That’d explain why I haven’t heard it before. Furthest east I’ve traveled is the Texas end of Louisiana, despite occassional curiosities.
And it basically means ‘yall’?
That’s my understanding. I’m not native to the yinz area I’ve just worked with people who said it.
Yeah. If you’re gonna try to pull that shit, at least say ‘yalls’es’. Like ‘let me know whatch y’alls experience is’
No idea.
I’ve been saying it for a few years. I just think it sounds nice.
I’ve been using that phrase with people I’m talking to in a different time zone for years.
I think I first noticed that phrase about 10 years ago. Not sure where it came from.
Dr. BobI’m almost 60 and I have heard that from as long as I can remember. “Have a good one” though…I first heard that in the early 2000’s and it sounded stupid then. And it sounds stupid now.
Snot FlickermanHave a good none, Bob
Wait, you think ‘have a good one’ sounds dumber than ‘have a good rest of your day’?
Isn’t that the great part? No matter what you’re up to they’re rooting for you
👍Maximum Derek👍This is the first I’m hearing it, and I feel like I’ll always be just a little bit sadder now that I know its a thing.
It’s been a thing for a very long time, like even back in the 90s I remember it.
The difference was it was mostly between people who were both working. At least blue collar, and usually people who had a blurry line on when they were done with work on any given day for various reasons like having a very small business or side hustle
Like, there was an understood “work” in front of the “day”. Basically “I hope you get through this without much extra bullshit”.
That’s still how I hear it, but probably not how most mean it.
I didn’t really notice it spreading, but pandemic and zoom may have made it more common as people worked where they lived and needed to delinerate free time from work time.
FleppensteynYeah it’s something you don’t hear outside of work. I felt like it implies more of: when work is over, enjoy what’s left of the day.
MelonYellowYes exactly. It means I’m acknowledging that work sucks, but I hope you enjoy the rest of your day (now that it’s over).
SatyrSackAre “enjoy the rest of your day” and “have a good rest of your day” different enough that one sounds odd but not the other?

ZoDoneRightNowthat sounds clunky. Have a good one, have a good day, and enjoy the rest of your day all sound normal to me. Don't think I have heard "have a good rest of your day" but it sounds like a smashing together of "have a good day" and "enjoy the rest of your day"

pruwybenI thought ppl said it when they didn’t know what time zone the person they were speaking with was in, or they were speaking with multiple people in multiple time zones.
Cevilia (they/she/…)Dunno but I tend to respond “You too if you can!”
I feel like it changes the meaning of “day”. In some contexts, day is the daylight hours… but in this context it is from when you woke up to when you went to sleep. So it feels a bit more timezone agnostic. But only a tiny bit. This would be more ture if you were comparing have a good afternoon to have a good day.
But the real answer. Someone just didn’t like saying the same thing over and over, so threw in some variation. Someone else who wanted to suck up to them started using it. Others just happened to follow.
