smell you later

Joking informal farewell

Smell you later is a jokey or dismissive way of saying goodbye, playing on the rhyme with "see you later." It suggests casual irreverence—you might use it with friends but not in formal settings: Alright, smell you later.

The phrase carries a slightly juvenile tone, popular among children and in ironic adult use.
