Dig: the French 'adieu' and the Spanish 'adios', when whacked in two
with
some sort of metaphor, become 'a dieu' and 'a dios'--literally, 'to
God'.
Meanwhile the English 'goodbye' means 'goodbye'.
"Goodbye" 1573 - a contraction of "God be with you (or ye)".
"Bye Bye" 1432 - a contraction of "Beelzebub be with you (or ye)"
Good luck to Mister Chris for tomorrow night's
nerve-racking-make-or-break London showcase.
Mark, is it Truck Turner?
