    That’s funny! Do you say “an Irish goodbye” in English when someone leaves without saying goodbye? In German, we say “einen polnischen Abgang machen”, which literally means “to make a Polish exit.” (Apologies to my Polish friends!)

    Edit:

    Just learned international Names for it:

    Germany: Polnischer Abgang (Polish exit)

    United States & Ireland: Irish goodbye

    United Kingdom: French exit

    France: filer à l’anglaise (to leave the English way)

    Poland: wyjść po angielsku (to leave the English way)

      Wait, Ireland calls it “Irish goodbye”, too?

      Germans: Polish people are rude, they leave without saying goodbye.

      Polish: English people are rude, they leave without saying goodbye.

      English: Irish people are rude, they leave without saying goodbye.

      Irish: Aye.

        The Irish don’t really say it other than those who’ve picked up the phrase from the Americans.
