Def. 01 of 8
When someone says a big farewell to all the lads and lasses and friends, because they're about to embark on a new life somewhere else, and you're all waving off like, give that a week? Or waving people off for like a wedding and you know they're going to get it. You think, I can't believe they're actually getting married. A kangaroo farm in New Zealand. You're all waving off thinking, that'll last about a year.
