Is It An Irish Goodbye, A French Exit, Or "to Leave The English Way?"

Is it an Irish goodbye, a French exit, or "to leave the English way?"

You can do it Irish, Polish, English, or French. No matter the style, it feels just as good.

In the US, the “Irish exit” or “Irish goodbye” is a satisfying way to deal with pleasantry-overload: When it’s time to leave a party, make a beeline for the door. Don’t tell anyone; don’t thank the host; just get out of there. What you call this rejection of a polite farewell, however, depends on where you live.
