I think it would be fun to flood the zone not with old-timey ones but with new made up ones.

"Sayonara, capybara!"

"Do svidaniya, Uncle Vanya!"

"Au Revoir, Auguste Renoir!"

"Hasta la vista, Linda Evangelista!"

"Toodle-oo, Scooby Doo!"

"Auf Wiedersehen in the membrane!"

_in a while crocodile_

Some people don’t seem to know this, same as some don’t know that the correct response to “Curiosity killed the cat” is
Satisfaction brought it back.


Similarly not everyone knows that the correct response to “No shit, Sherlock” is “Keep digging, Watson”
