for context English is not my first language and all this time i thought it meant like "good luck" fml

What did you think riddance meant?

Tbf its never really used outside of that phrase

its so over for you low key LMFAOOOO

that’s a wypipo phrase anyways don’t worry too much about it op

I’m pretty sure it means you’re relieved or glad to be rid of their presence, so yeah…

who did you say this to

Riddance

Rid

Getting rid of -> relief of something

Good -> positive

Good getting rid of

Good to get rid of you

Good riddance

Glad to be rid of you -> a positive for you, an insult for them

op next time you wanna wish someone well,
tell them kys (keep yourself safe)

Side note:

I figured out a way to understand words like they're, we're, you're etc

You're is "you are" put together

So ex. -> Youre here = You are here

They're = They are (together)

They are gone now

They're gone now

Aren't = are not

We're = we are

Etc.

Im great and always excelled at writing and English, but I dont know the proper word for these kind of words and rules - but the easiest way to think of them imo is like a compound word

they been saying it to him

meanwhile he be walking away like thanks good riddance to you too

This is my kind of thread

Contractions

I always think of it’s that way to remember if I’m using it right

I'm sorry but

Crine

What context did you say it in?

crine brine dine

OP's coworker: I'm going hiking for the first time tomorrow 🙂
OP: Good riddance
