What is goodbye and good riddance meaning?

Goodbye refers to a farewell expression used when someone is leaving. The word is derived from the phrase “God be with ye” and is commonly used to express well-wishes as someone leaves. It is a way of saying farewell and wishing someone good luck.

Good riddance is a phrase that is often used to express relief when someone or something unpleasant is gone. It implies that the person or thing leaving is unwanted and the departure is a good thing.
