Peace Out

Given the recent discussion on the phrase "peace out" I thought I'd discover what it actually means. I embarked on this journey and was quite surprised.

First of all when you go to Google and type in peace out, the first thing that you see is a website entitled Peace Out. It has this image on it's front page..



odd don't you think?

Or if you are unsatisfied with getting out of the military... perhaps you are searching for a book entitled "Peace Out, Dawg: Tales from Ground Zero"? Only $11.53 on amazon!

Then I discovered perhaps the intended meaning on Alistairs blog...



Definition: A friendly way to say goodbye.

Example: 1) Peace out, guys. I'm going home.

Etymology: 'Peace' started being used as a greeting in the 1960s. 'Out' comes from a standard way of finishing a conversation on a two-way radio -- 'over and out'.

Synonyms: later

Interesting no!? (thanks to http://www.englishdaily626.com/slang.php?089 for their definition).
