Whats a GOOD...Bye I mean seriously whats so good about it?
Lets discuss it shall we cause to me there is nothing good about Bye.
Why?
Lets look at the mitigating factors
A. Your Leaving your friends so not only will you miss them they will miss you thus double edged on that aspect.
B. Your in a pissy mood and will miss what ever latter. Hey Shit happens so why say bye why not say ok I'm taking an interlude....interlude is a good word for a time out but wait time out is better isnt it...hmmm
C. Bye is also a statment and finite.
D. Bye means never again....so if you come back you have lied which labels you a liar so again ...bad bad bad.
E. Bye also in the parting sense is for trips..personally I use See ya as that is my plan to See ya again.
So again Whats so damn good about bye...hmmm???

Your point is completly understood, Shadow. However, it's used because of the history of the phrase and how it came to be.
as per dictionary.com Word History: No doubt more than one reader has wondered exactly how goodbye is derived from the phrase “God be with you.” To understand this, it is helpful to see earlier forms of the expression, such as God be wy you, god b'w'y, godbwye, god buy' ye, and good-b'wy. The first word of the expression is now good and not God, for good replaced God by analogy with such expressions as good day, perhaps after people no longer had a clear idea of the original sense of the expression. A letter of 1573 written by Gabriel Harvey contains the first recorded use of goodbye: “To requite your gallonde [gallon] of godbwyes, I regive you a pottle of howdyes,” recalling another contraction that is still used. Like i said, i get your point. I just thought i'd show that words and phrases don't always start out how they end up to be - particularly in modern day. _____________________

Goodbye assumes you're coming back.
That, or things really sucked between two people and someone's really glad there's a "bye". _____________________

Note that the Spanish adios is short for "go with God." As is the French adieu.

Look at the big brain on Changeling Fate! Very sexy! Yessir. I am intelligent AND a geek. And quite proud of both facts, too. Nice when someone (aside from myself, of course *wink*) thinks that being smart is good. Thank you! This was a fun thread. It's been -ages- since i've thought of that song... and now it's stuck in my head! *laugh* _____________________
