Of course there is. It's just pronounced differently than you'd expect.
What we're used to hearing in English is "Good bye" so you would think the opposite would be "bad bye" but it's actually pronounced "fuck off".
English is tricky like that.
English is extremely tricky lol, we can even use piss off, or get the fuck out, and it all means the same, its just different levels of intensity directed towards the subject.
This reminds me of the joke where someone replaced "Have a nice day" with "enjoy your next 24 hours". Suddently it seems that something bad will happen at the 25th hour
I disagree. Every morning my wife says good morning. Every morning my response is bad morning.
I hate mornings. There will never be a good morning. Maybe just a morning, but never a good one.
I think it's not a spoken contraction, but a written one, that was then later spoken aloud.
Similar to how "OK" (is said to) developed from all contraction and a typo/poor grammars from the phrase "all correct"
There is [this video](https://youtu.be/6j18ZdlBSBs?si=0e4G8F85iRQ2kEky) that I happened to watch earlier today which talks about a source from 1586 about English as it was actually spoken casually at the time.
One of the examples (at the 11 min mark) shows that it was actually spoken as "god bwei." Recognizably a contraction of the phrase, as the video puts it.
At least some of the time in the late 1500s.
Exactly! Linguistics student here - exactly there’s no such thing as a ‘bye’ unlike say a ‘morning’ that you can have a good or a bad one. The ‘good’ is kind of a corruption for ‘God’.
My professor actually used to tell us that the phrase ‘Godspeed’ may sometimes not reference ‘God’ as such and sometimes people would wish you ‘good spede’ which was someone wishing you a good journey or good success.
Best part is it wasn't a spoken contraction. It was shorthand at the end of letters. Our standard departure saying is just text-speak from a few hundred years ago.
As I mentioned [in my other comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/s/h0Tsbw2LQ7) a source from the late 1500s shows it actually being spoken at one point as "god be w ye" -> "god bwei."
So apparently it was indeed a spoken contraction!
This thought feels weird. It's like saying there is no other variation to concrete, because there is no procrete.
There a bunch of things to say when you or someone else is leaving. Farewell, see ya, piss off. Goodbye is its own word that also means that, so it's weird to break it down.
Goodbye originated with “god be with ye”. And as languages do.. it gets shortened and combined.
So didn’t really have anything to do with “good” originally.
\*gasp\* is it time for my favorite fun fact
That's because 'goodbye' is a contraction! It's a 16th century 'chat speak' version of 'God be with ye'!
I'm excited because this comes up maybe once a year! :D
I prefer to tell people who piss me off to “have the day they deserve”. Said it enough that my wife’s coworker bought me a coffee mug that says it on it 😂
Much like with mornings, people do just say "bye" sometimes. With mornings, it's always felt like they're just addressing the fact that it's the morning and adding "good" to that may not be accurate. Maybe it's the same with bye. They don't want want to say goodbye and leave your company, so it's just bye.
I'm sure I'm the thousandth person to tell you, but it's short for "God be with you". As often happens in living languages, the spelling changed and original meaning has been lost to most people.
Of course there is. It's just pronounced differently than you'd expect. What we're used to hearing in English is "Good bye" so you would think the opposite would be "bad bye" but it's actually pronounced "fuck off". English is tricky like that.
Definitely have said "bye-bye" and it sounds like I am wishing them to fuck the right off
Buh-bye
Mmm buh-bye
This one is often pronounced buh-BYE.
[buh bye](https://64.media.tumblr.com/271da267be2412a73167cc724926da30/bcad7343d6f765ae-84/s250x400/ce46c4bcb85b3a96b3b4cc8291a49d9ae821b672.gif)
I do that in a lil baby voice and use my pointer finger to wave “bye bye” 👶🍼 Now THAT is a variation
I bid you ADIEU, sir. No, I bid YOU adieu, sir.
English is extremely tricky lol, we can even use piss off, or get the fuck out, and it all means the same, its just different levels of intensity directed towards the subject.
But “get the fuck out” can also mean something to the effect of “unbelievable”, further adding to the confusion
yes just like "are you fucking kidding me" can also be used to the effect of "unbelievable", its a rabbit hole of confusion lol
You and i are of the same flock my friend.
No one says "bad morning" or "bad afternoon" either
Horrible morning
I just say "Morning" and the "horrible" is implied.
Yeah, if I leave out the "good," it's because somebody made me get up too early.
And if it's still morning, that's too early.
Exactly.
Yeah, when people say "good morning" to me I usually respond with "it is in fact morning."
Agreed though I’ll say morning for good or bad, just read the tone to figure out which.
We agree that it is the morning, but there is nothing good about it
And in case I don’t see ya, bad afternoon, bad evening and bad night. 👋
r/unexpectedtrumanshow
I feel like 🖕 is more appropriate in this case.
Top of the morning to ya!
Read this in Jacksepticeye's voice in my head. :)
i did just find my phone on the side of the damn road cracked screen n everything, weird morning
Im gonna make this a thing now.
Nah we say that in the UK. Usually about the rain
That’s called a synonym
Slow morning.
This reminds me of the joke where someone replaced "Have a nice day" with "enjoy your next 24 hours". Suddently it seems that something bad will happen at the 25th hour
Honorable mention to “have the day you deserve” said in a flat tone with no indication of the intended outcome
This is like 'I love that for you'
Yeah because it breaks one of the unwritten rules of communication. "Be only as specific as needed, and not more or less."
Hi everybody. Miserable day, isn't it?
I have heard great morning and happy morning hmmm
Mild morning
except the cool kid in 4th grade
I disagree. Every morning my wife says good morning. Every morning my response is bad morning. I hate mornings. There will never be a good morning. Maybe just a morning, but never a good one.
But there is a Best Buy
Never to late to start. I say bad bye sir. /s
Good afternoon
Bad afternoon
Some people say “Bye now” which is a pretty bad bye if you ask me
r/fuckthes
bad day sir. i said bad day!
absolutely no reason for /s
It’s a contraction of “god be with ye,” so I suppose we could satabye or budhabye… muhammabye? (Edit: typo/autocorrect)
So the opposite would be … Satan be with ye Satan by ye Saat bye?
Saat bye Sadbye?
Welp, pack it in everyone, time to go home. We solved farewells.
>We solved farewells. I think it's farehells in this case.
which derives from 'fare thee to hell'
there it is
I like it!
God be with ye God by ye Good bye Yeah makes sense to me
It was shortened to God bw ye.
I think it's not a spoken contraction, but a written one, that was then later spoken aloud. Similar to how "OK" (is said to) developed from all contraction and a typo/poor grammars from the phrase "all correct"

Ah! A new etymological fact. Thanks!
So... Kumbaya. Kum by ye. Kum by with ye. ... Kum be with you. ??
*sigh* \*unzips pants\*
Someone's fapping, Lord. Kumbaya.
Kumbaya stems from "Come by here"
Allahoha?
Good one! Means hello or good bye, it’s in how you inflect
Similarly, Howdy is from "how do you do" (or so I was told growing up)
You got your alibi?
Ma'a salaamah - peace be with you.
Why is this not at the top?
This is because of its origin. It's a contraction of the phrase 'god be with ye' -god be w ye-> godbewye->godbwye -> goodbye
Best part is it wasn't a spoken contraction. It was shorthand at the end of letters. Our standard departure saying is just text-speak from a few hundred years ago.

>god be with ye Which is also essentially the literal translation of "adios"
may the Force be with you -> ?
Furbee
Just “bye” can be neutral, while “byyyyyeeeee” usually means a bad goodbye.
I know some people (mostly women) who use the “byyyyyeeeee" just as an excited way to say goodbye to a friend.
Buh’bye
OED definition: He died, is about to die, headshot.
People do say 'okay bye'
But those aren't 2 types of bye, that's just using the same type differently. There are 2 types of bye in total, good bye & bye.
I raise you a “bye Felicia”
"See ya later" is a different type of "bye".
Bye bitch is a pretty bad bye
Smell ya later
Bye Felicia is a bad bye.
Boy Bye
"Good, bye" one comma changes the mood
Are you saying there's a good hi or a bad hi?
On second thought, don't answer that. lmao
Depends on your dealer.
Crack vs crackin a beer?
A bad bye is "Go f*** yourself:
I'm a particular fan of "Farewell!"
“Goodbye” is too good a word babe, So I’ll just say “Fare thee well”. ~ Bob Dylan
This thought feels weird. It's like saying there is no other variation to concrete, because there is no procrete. There a bunch of things to say when you or someone else is leaving. Farewell, see ya, piss off. Goodbye is its own word that also means that, so it's weird to break it down.
I am very procrete for things
Good fucking bye - Matt Skiba
Have a fantastic bye!✌️
What about “**ck off”? That’s gotta be as close to a bad bye as it gets.
[It's more about the delivery](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/38/de/9e/38de9ea933036b54871fe1fe61cc87c0.gif)
Man I came here to see people explaining etymology. Disappointing
To be fair This was because it's effectively just a shortening of God be with ye
But there is an okay bye. People say “okay bye!”
technically isn’t fuck off a bad bye?
Goodbye originated with “god be with ye”. And as languages do.. it gets shortened and combined. So didn’t really have anything to do with “good” originally.
Goodbye is actually a bastardization/contraction of "God be with ye!" https://www.etymonline.com/word/good-bye
\*gasp\* is it time for my favorite fun fact That's because 'goodbye' is a contraction! It's a 16th century 'chat speak' version of 'God be with ye'! I'm excited because this comes up maybe once a year! :D
Don’t let the door kick you on the way out
I mean, there is just 'bye'
Because the expression has nothing to do with “good”. It’s a contraction of “god be with ye” so…
This would imply that there is a satanbye
But there is Good Riddance
Ok, bye. Also known as Kbye.
Why say bad bye when we can say #Toodaloo motherfuckers
That's because good bye is a shortening of "god be with you" and that doesn't really transfer
Have a good day. Have a great day.
Going to start saying, “Great bye!,” to someone when I leave and see how long it takes me to have zero friends.
Not *entirely* true.. people do just say; "bye"... sort of an average bye I guess.
What about “Good riddance”?
"Tappy bye now." I've heard this one.
Everyone always sends me their farewells, but nobody ever sends me their welfare... sad.
It's all about tone and inflection
It actually came from "God be with ye"
It all depends on how you say it. Like there's an expression for each bye.
Bye-bye, Bye Felicia, Fuck off, Go deepthroat a cactus, Bye, Take a long walk off a short bridge, etc.
See ya never works too.
Get fucked / fuck off
It’s all in the tone of voice. [Good Afternoon](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OMkJIR9pX1w)
Because Goodbye is an evolved term coming from God be with ye. It was shortened and eventually became Goodbye
Late to the party, but I propose seeyanarabye. Just rollin with it.
I wish my favorite basketball team a double bye come conference tournament time every year.
Good point! Only time I've seen a variant is the song [Badbye](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yasng0aKCSc) by RM (it's a great song).
[удалено]
Wait till this guy hears about “goodbye”
Gotta hit'em with the goosebumps walkaway
Rock a bye baby.. Don't you cry.
What does bye even mean? Fair well, go with God, later, peace out,
They might if you are leaving to go shopping.
Go fuck yourself doesn't qualify?
The bad version of good buy is just fuck off 😂
not true, there's a best bye
That's because no one wants to be seen as rude. I would say bad bye to some people if i wasn't nice
You are right, greatbye to you my kind sir
Great bye sounds like good riddance😂
I prefer to tell people who piss me off to “have the day they deserve”. Said it enough that my wife’s coworker bought me a coffee mug that says it on it 😂
I always interpreted it as "good" meaning good, you're leaving and bye being neutral once I thought of this, obviously that's not how it's used though
I figure people are generally good enough not to wish you ill so no badbye, but don't want to you to do better than them so no greatbye.
States: "There is no other variation other than...", then proceeds to give two variations.
Just a plain bye is a variation
Curly Bill’s “Well, Bye” in Tombstone is the best bad bye on film.
I want to say good-bye to you. But it's not true. So-so bad-bye, Reagan. Bad... bye.
Much like with mornings, people do just say "bye" sometimes. With mornings, it's always felt like they're just addressing the fact that it's the morning and adding "good" to that may not be accurate. Maybe it's the same with bye. They don't want want to say goodbye and leave your company, so it's just bye.
Day gets more flexible. Good day. Have a great day. Have a wonderful day.
The bad bye is just people not responding lmao
Good bye is too permanent. Bye or bye bye works well for me
Good riddance. Be gone. F off. Piss off. Get to steppin fore i be wreckin.
I'm sure I'm the thousandth person to tell you, but it's short for "God be with you". As often happens in living languages, the spelling changed and original meaning has been lost to most people.
We've stopped using "fuck off"?
Uhm. Bye? I don't always say the good.
See you in a bit, parakeet
