Not have a good day. Not enjoy the rest of your day.
Was this how people ended zoom calls during lockdown or something? Some influencer on TikTok signs off with it? A generational thing? Did I just miss the memo?
I think I first noticed that phrase about 10 years ago. Not sure where it came from.
I’m almost 60 and I have heard that from as long as I can remember. “Have a good one” though…I first heard that in the early 2000’s and it sounded stupid then. And it sounds stupid now.
Wait, you think ‘have a good one’ sounds dumber than ‘have a good rest of your day’?
I do. Have a good what? Date?Sandwich? Shit? They have no idea what I’m up to next.
Isn’t that the great part? No matter what you’re up to they’re rooting for you
Have a good none, Bob
😀
Context clues elude
Are “enjoy the rest of your day” and “have a good rest of your day” different enough that one sounds odd but not the other?
It doeth sound a little off, even though it’s very minor.
Seriously?
Yes
I think it’s an influencer thing. It really irks me. Also, the phrase, “Your guys’es”, as in, “Let me know what your guys’es experience is in the comments” .
Yeah. If you’re gonna try to pull that shit, at least say ‘yalls’es’. Like ‘let me know whatch y’alls experience is’
You guyses has been around forever in areas that don’t use yinz or y’all.

Pittsburgh and similar areas of Pennsylvania I think

That’s my understanding. I’m not native to the yinz area I’ve just worked with people who said it.
Yep. Also “yous” and “youse guys/girls”. Former rural Pennsylvanian. Miss me those Philly Cheesesteaks.
Yup. Pittsburgh pretty much has it’s own language.
Sometime after sunrise.
I have been saying that for about 40 years, can’t be the only one.
I’ve been using that phrase with people I’m talking to in a different time zone for years.
No idea.
I’ve been saying it for a few years. I just think it sounds nice.
It’s been a thing for a very long time, like even back in the 90s I remember it.
The difference was it was mostly between people who were both working. At least blue collar, and usually people who had a blurry line on when they were done with work on any given day for various reasons like having a very small business or side hustle
Like, there was an understood “work” in front of the “day”. Basically “I hope you get through this without much extra bullshit”.
That’s still how I hear it, but probably not how most mean it.
I didn’t really notice it spreading, but pandemic and zoom may have made it more common as people worked where they lived and needed to delinerate free time from work time.
Yeah it’s something you don’t hear outside of work. I felt like it implies more of: when work is over, enjoy what’s left of the day.
Yes exactly. You say that to someone once their work obligation has ended. It means I’m acknowledging that work sucks, but I hope you enjoy the rest of your day (now that it’s over).
This is the first I’m hearing it, and I feel like I’ll always be just a little bit sadder now that I know its a thing.
Usually after 4 PM.
“Morning”
“Have a day”
“Night”
I had to make the switch to saying that because I work nights and I got tired of switching between “have a good morning” and “have a good night” lol
I don’t know, but I wish people would stop telling me what to do.
They’re not telling you what to do though
“It’s (hope you) have a good day/rest of day/night etc”
Don’t tell me what to do! I tell anyone I want to have a nice rest of their day.
At least it’s short term. “Have a good rest of your day. I don’t give a shit about your tomorrow though”
I say it because I talk to people all over the world.
