sayonaras
Tokyo departure words
Sayonaras is the plural of sayonara, a Japanese farewell that entered English as a way of saying goodbye with finality—not "see you later" but "this is the end." After twenty years, she said her sayonaras to the company.
The word often implies a clean, permanent break rather than a temporary parting.
