Merriam Webster out here fighting for its life

Merriam-Webster & @Merriam..•18h
'Goodbye' is an alteration of "God be with you."

Sean Kress• @SKress7514 • 16h
Do you have evidence to back this up? If so can you explain what "good night" , "good
morning" and "good evening" are alterations of?

Merriam-Webster & @Merriam..•15h
what

Sean Kress & @SKress7514 • 14h
I was genuinely asking the question because the only thing I find on the internet is that it is basically a slur from the original.... I assumed there was a better explanation for it than that as it seems a little unlikely given the good night, good morning etc haven't been slurred into something else too. Sorry if you saw that as offensive.

Merriam-Webster @ @Merriam...•14h S
It is not related to 'good night/ day/morning.'
The 'good' in those do not come from 'God.'

Sean Kress @ @SKress7514 • 14h
So the internet suggestion this it is just a slur is what you are basing that on too then?

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Merriam-Webster's etymology follows established linguistic scholarship, not unverified internet suggestions of a "slur."
"Goodbye" is an alteration of "God be with you"; "good" in greetings like "good morning" has separate origins unrelated to "God."

It's not often I get to try a recent discovery for a game we start Jewkbox with, but we get to try the new F-Zero GX codes at the start twitch.tv/TheJewker

Oh nice! I think the last time I was in Little Tokyo they still had their devil man statue out, but I think that was the one that was recently sold in the underground areas window? Either that or a Kamen Rider

@thejewker.bsky.social Oct 16, 2026, 12:35 AM

This would make sense but this is also something I can see them doing again for October. Hope ya have fun though in Little Tokyo!
