adios

goodbye

A goodbye.

In fifteen minutes I had finished eating, swilled a cup of industrial strength scorch, got Solly’s keys and all the dope on how to handle his big new DeSoto, received a sack of ribs from Cleo to eat along the way and paid my adioses to Trumbo and Len Fugate who saw Helen and me to the door.

Bill McCauley also said his adioses as he’s departing this summer to rejuvenate the DCS for Doctrine at TRADOC.

To leave; to literally or figuratively say “adios” to.

About an hour later I adiosed the office.

“Oh, yes, I’m so happy that my latest codelincuente has adiosed me,” I scoff.

To get rid of.

By the time they got there, somebody’d adiosed the corpse.

She also adiosed the eye contact.
