Wonderwall

If they aren't always good, why call them "goodbyes"?
If they aren't always hellish, why call them "hello's"?

When will english stop being a funny language?

Ohh a thinker post! i like!

um the word goodbye comes from "god be with you". Apparently people just kept shortening it to its present form. It'll probably be "goby" in a few decades if it continues its current evolution.

And first meetings are allus tough...i understand why "hell-o", thats how i met all the people i dont like.
