    An “Irish exit” (also known as an “Irish goodbye”) refers to leaving a party or social gathering without saying goodbye to the host or other guests. It’s a discreet or unnoticed exit.

      Can confirm. We do this all the time. It’s because in Irish culture if you tell people you wanna go they’ll try to get you to stay out for another round (ad infinitum) so people just bail and then message to say they had a great night and went home.
