- I know you are angry, but itโs not his fault. You are fine, and the insurance will handle the car. Now let the police do their job. Go in peace.

- Thank you, doctor. Iโll be sure to take the meds regularly and get back to you on that. Until next time.
37. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!
Way to say BYE BYE to someone who is going away pretty far. You donโt know when youโll see them again, but you hope you will. Use it with someone you know is going on a long trip, or back home and you hope they will visit again.
- So great seeing you again! Safe trip back home. Until we meet again!
38. I MUST TAKE LEAVE OF YOU NOW
Very formal. It comes from the Elizabethan Era of the English language, like Shakespeareโs writing. So itโs often used as a joke, more than a formal way to say BYE BYE. So use it in situations like that.
- My fellow compatriots, sharing these drinks was jolly good fun. But I must take leave of you now.
39. TOODLE-OO!
Used informally and casually. We use it to talk to friends.
- I hope we do this again sometime. Itโs always a joy. Toodle-oo ladies!
40. TOODLES!
Is another version or TOODLE-OO. Itโs used in the same way, but itโs a bit more fun and colloquial.
- Fancy seeing you here. We have to grab a coffee and catch up some time. Friday sounds great, just let me know when. Toodles!
41. DONโT BE A STRANGER
This is somewhat specific because you canโt use it in any situation. Itโs commonly used when youโve seen someone you havenโt seen in a while. When you want to keep in touch, and maybe see them again you can use this.
- Oh my god! Melissa is that you. So nice to see you again. I know youโve been busy with work. I have to go now, but call me sometime. Donโt be a stranger.
42. IโM OFF!
Pretty straightforward. Itโs common to use among friends and people you know. We use it when you have to leave right away.
- Oh, itโs too late. I have a meeting in one hour and have to prepare. Nice seeing you. Iโm off.
43. IโM OUT OF HERE!
This one can be tricky because it can mean that you are just leaving. You can use that when youโre talking to friends. But it can also mean that you want to leave because youโre uncomfortable. So use it when the situation is applicable.
- I canโt listen to this anymore. Iโm out of here.ย
