I've noticed a trend lately with myself, and my friends where goodbye just isn't good enough. I think this sign off phenomena started with the famous/inspiring "Good night, and good luck" and has ended to my recent personal favorite (compliments of Sean McKeithan) Tootles Poodles!
Maybe Reality TV has everyone wishing/believing that their life is like, sooo made for TV that we all go around leaving our 'viewers' wanting more with that last little hook thrown in before departures, hanging up, or logging off. Some folks have their trusty 'out phrase' while others assign goodbyes like ringtones to certain peeps. There are few who use their bodies but aside from blown kisses, the stiff-arm Heisman, and the all-American peace out, I feel like body language is reserved for the other end of the conversation....its an attention thing.
The bold ones are still fighting the battle against the boundaries of language to go as far as to make up new words to never repeat themselves.
What's your sign-off?
