Irish goodbye is a slang term with its origins in the Irish-American neighborhoods of New York City and Boston. The term refers to the practice of inconspicuously leaving a place where one has gathered with friends (usually for quite some time) without ever formally announcing that one is leaving. Note that an Irish goodbye requires a conscious decision by the person to leave without bidding adieu. It is a decision that reflects the leaver’s dislike of making himself the center of attention and an austere disdain for showy and perhaps empty formalities. The Irish goodbye also allows a person to disappear from a function with the utmost expediency without spending extra time on “thank-yous” etc. (from Wikipedia)

Cameron and I are going to start doing this. Because when I’m ready to go, I’m ready to GO. Stading around for 15 minutes to say bye to people I see weekly just doesn’t do it for me.

I’m the same way. I usually say goodbye, and then leave, everyone else says goodbye and then lingers for 20 minutes. It’s so annoying. I said I’m leaving, and damnit, I’m leaving!

shit, i do this all the time. it’s the only way to bounce from a wounded scene sometimes. and if i don’t bounce, i’ll usually end up taking an “irish nap” at yr place (wherein i crash on your couch and wake up around 1:00pm and finish off the bottle of whiskey before i split and leave your door unlocked).

I never knew there was a name for this but it’s the only way I operate. I used to feel guilty but then I realized that no one gives a shit either way.
