IAtionary: aHarvey

a-Har-vey [ah-HAHR-vee] inj.

1. A parting used between Harveyists
2. A way to wish someone who one will not likely see for some time luck, while also paying respect to Harvey

Language of Origin: French to Spanish to Martian

The French and Spanish words adios and adieu both come from the same idea. a means "to" in both languages, and Dios and Dieu are the words for God. So, naturally, this had to come next. And unlike the Romance languages, we always capitalize the H.

Useless fact of the day: "Goodbye" was originally a contraction of the phrase "God be with ye." But sadly, I can't see a way to put in Harvey's name without sounding ridiculous... Harveybye? Harbye? Hoodbye? No. Suggestions? Please.
