I learned that silently leaving a party is called an Irish Goodbye and I’ve never been more proud of my people.

In French we say “filer à l’Anglaise” which translates to “leave like the English” 😂​

"French Exit" is also equivalent.

Evidently, so is "Dutch Leave", though I've never encountered that one in the wild yet. (I will ask my Dutch friends.)

@SingingNala Wow! That's a new one for me. I always thought it was the "French leave". Meanwhile in Poland we call it the "English leave" and in Germany it's the "Polish leave".

in Brazil the expression used for leaving silently translates to “leaving French-style”. Guess it’s an European thing, then.

we used to call this the Norwegian Exit, because we had one Norwegian friend who used to do it all the damn time.
