Re:Re:Re:Goodbye slang
I see this expression Carmen refers to, "te wacho" a lot in hispanic North American slang. A little research I did on the Internet suggests it's a Spanglish expression. I've seen it written as "ay te wacho," "hay te wacho," and "alli te wacho." I lean towards the last one because I got it from a Mexican US journalist who was both formally educated and fluent in Spanglish. It felt like he was a pretty solid source. But it comes from the English word, "watch," as in, to keep an eye on, conjugated as a Spanish verb, "I watch you" -- te wacho. So I guess "Alli te wacho" is like saying I'm watching out for you.
Of course, I'm on the outside looking in. Any Spanglish speakers out there want to straighten us out?

Re:Re:Goodbye slang Carmen Claudia
In Spain, you can also say for GOODBYE: Hasta otra, hasta pronto, hasta la vista. (We don't say "ay te wacho")

Re:Goodbye slang
We actually have a lot more than that. We have many colorful, clever ones:
"Don't take any wooden (or any plug) nickels!"
"Catch you on the flip-flop!"
First person: "See ya later, alligator!"
other person: "After while, crocodile!"
Some insulting ones you can use with certain people who like to joke this way:
"Come back when you can't stay so long!"
"Don't let the door hit you on the way out"
"Well, it's been real. It's been fun. It hasn't been REAL fun..."
An R-rated version:
"Later days and greater lays!"
"Give my love to Irma and the kids," (a good and silly one to use with a bachelor)
I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows about these...Come on guys, cough 'em up!
Later days, everyone!

Re:Re:Re:Goodbye slang
Hi Franciz !
You can say Goodbye in Spanish in many different ways. For example:
"Hasta Luego"
"Nos vemos"
"chau"
This are informal expressions.
"Adios" is a very formal expressions than we rarely use in spoken spanish..
Bye !
Vanesa.

Re:Goodbye slang- Spanish
Hello, yes all of these phrases are very common to say when saying goodbye to someone in Spain, however you must remember that there are many other common phrases to say goodbye depending on location. A very common Mexican goodbye is indeed "hay te wacho". Which of course is very slang. It has north american influence as this is very close to the border slang. Kind of like hay te wacho [taken from the English word watch]. So thanks for reading this. . .
Hay Te Wacho 8^)
