live long and prosper
Spock's famous farewell
Live long and prosper is a formal farewell or blessing wishing someone a lengthy and successful life.
The phrase comes from Star Trek, where it accompanies the Vulcan salute—a raised hand with fingers split in a V.
Outside fan circles, it's often used playfully or ironically as an elaborate goodbye: Thanks for all your help—live long and prosper.
