Irish goodbye
의미: Leaving a party or social gathering without saying goodbye to anyone.
An Irish goodbye is the art of disappearing from a party without the rounds of hugs, handshakes, and 'we should hang out more' conversations. You simply leave. Some Americans consider it rude, while others see it as the most efficient way to exit a party. It avoids the 'leaving loop' where saying goodbye to one person takes 45 minutes.
