Maybe we just watch too much T.V. Our family can't just say "good-bye" like a normal family. We aren't even like a normal family in another country, saying "adios," "auf wiedersehen," "au revoir," or "ciao." No, we emulate the dysfunctional Barone family from "Everybody Loves Raymond" and say, "Habanadah!"
RAY BARONE: That's the restaurant where the crazy old Chinese lady yells at you while you're leaving, right?
DEBRA BARONE: You know what she's yelling, right?
RAY BARONE: Yeah, "habanadah!"
DEBRA BARONE: She's saying, "Have a nice day."
RAY BARONE: Oh. [pause] Well, maybe she isn't crazy.
