[edit] Goodwill/badwill parting

So far all phrases are of goodwill attitude. In Russian there are a number of expressions with hostile attitude:

  • Skatertyu doroga! (literally: may the road lay smooth as a tablecloth before you)
  • May my eyes not see you ever again!"
  • etc.

I don't know about other languages. Are there English phrases of this kind? `'Miikka 21:15, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revision

It is unsatifactory to keep the article in its present form:

  • many spoken examples are unvarified.
  • simply listing the example may make some editor accuse that the article is a dictionary entry (although I beleive the principle is about the individual article).
  • a context should be provided for the foreign examples to make this article more encyclopedic when the examples use in that language or English.
