In the past, in parties I just left and didn't give a fuck . Period. And if anyone asked me later I said I had a great time but at one point it was enough fun.
I used to do what we called backdooring it as in you just leave without telling anybody. That way you don’t have to deal with all the drunk people saying “come on just stay a bit longer” etc.
It’s called the “Irish Exit”, actually, because we’re all sociopaths and have no time for pleasantries. I assume.
I thought the Irish exit is when you're so drunk you just wander off, coz that's what I used to do hehe.
That sounds like a plausible origin story too. Too drunk for pleasantries.
I still do something similar. Grab my stuff, get ready to go and when I am at the door, I give a "Goodbye everybody" and leave right away.
No time for arguing, just letting people know that I am leaving alive.
As me :) hahaha i didn't knew there is a word in english for that
Yeah it’s pretty common in my friend circle.
I could say to Ste “Where did you go last night” and he might say “Aww bro I had to backdoor it me, had enough”.
In my circle we call this an Irish Goodbye, and it is celebrated.
