Thanks, have a nice day.

That's more like it.

Take care should only be used if someone is about to do something dangerous like go into a mine that's about to collapse.
You can also say "be careful" in a situation like this but "take care" seems more sincere for some reason.

definitely NOT CRAP. of all the ways to end an interaction, this is one of my favorites.

this speaks to a bigger problem, that being that there isn't a really good way to end a conversation. i guess "bye" is probably about the best, and even that kinda sucks.

"see ya"
"see ya later"
"later"
"see ya round"
"take it easy"
"peace!"

i mean, seriously, what are the good ones?

my single favorite may well be "aight, smurf out, yo", but that's only because it's totally retarded and i made it up.

seriously, what's the right way? "goodbye"? is that it?

I usually go for "see you later" and reserve "bye, bye" for phone calls.

People don't ever say "have a nice day" often in the UK. It's more of a US thing. I don't like it.

"Take care" is not terrible though.

I always " See you...Have Fun", and I have noticed that a lot of my friends have started saying this as a result. Does anyone else ever say this? I actually really mean it when I say it. I mean come on have fun...fuck taking care...

My favorite sign-off is 'safe'. This, my Polish friend in London once told me about. What is this 'safe'?

mine is "peace"

Safe is a youth thing. Or it was about ten years ago. I think kids are still saying it. But now a lot of those kids have grown up and are adults who say "safe". That's just weird.

It can mean hello or goodbye or a description of a good person ("Nah, leave him alone Kev, he's safe"). It's often accompanied by a touching of the fists.

The last time someone did this to me was in a shop and I thought he was showing me his watch so I stared at his wrist, then at him, then at his wrist, then finally caught on.


Personally I say "see you later", "t'ra/turrah" or "byebye" (pronounced b'bye). The last one is probably only to kids.

My little brother and his friends sometimes say "in a bizzle" which is "in a bit" but with a little snoop dogg thrown in. Now my mom says it.

I'm not sure I've ever said take care, but I dont consider it crap.

i can't stand 'have fun.' it's shallow (life is not for our amusement) and presumptuous (like i'm not having enough fun already? shall i lighten up for you? bounce on a trampoline?). seriously... i got some work to do.

i know ma clortho is on my side.

This is kinda off topic, but I love the awkward moments, like when someone asks me, "how's it goin?" and I reply "not much."

Another fun one is when someone is waiving to someone behind me and I think they are waiving at me so I wave back only to realize that I am again a loser with no friends.
