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 don’t know, but I wish people would stop telling me what to do.
At least it’s short term. “Have a good rest of your day. I don’t give a shit about your tomorrow though”
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.
that sounds clunky. Have a good one, have a good day, and enjoy the rest of your day all sound normal to me. Don’t think I have heard “have a good rest of your day” but it sounds like a smashing together of “have a good day” and “enjoy the rest of your day”
Nothing I wish for you is going to affect anything that’s already happened in your day
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.
“Morning”
“Have a day”
“Night”
The only time I’ve heard it said like that is when the person is being passive-aggressive and sarcastic. I’m not saying it’s always used in that way, just my experience.
Usually after 4 PM.
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’ve been using that phrase with people I’m talking to in a different time zone for years.
I feel like it changes the meaning of “day”. In some contexts, day is the daylight hours… but in this context it is from when you woke up to when you went to sleep. So it feels a bit more timezone agnostic. But only a tiny bit. This would be more ture if you were comparing have a good afternoon to have a good day.
But the real answer. Someone just didn’t like saying the same thing over and over, so threw in some variation. Someone else who wanted to suck up to them started using it. Others just happened to follow.
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.
Context clues elude
Have a good none, Bob
😀
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
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” .
You guyses has been around forever in areas that don’t use yinz or y’all.
Sorry…“yinz”? Where is that a thing? Never once heard it used in my life
Pittsburgh and similar areas of Pennsylvania I think
That’d explain why I haven’t heard it before. The furthest northeast I’ve traveled is the Texas end of Louisiana, despite occasional curiosities.
And it basically means ‘yall’?
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.
Yeah. If you’re gonna try to pull that shit, at least say ‘yalls’es’. Like ‘let me know whatch y’alls experience is’
No idea.
I’ve been saying it for a few years. I just think it sounds nice.
Sometime after sunrise.
I think I first noticed that phrase about 10 years ago. Not sure where it came from.
