Can someone comment on what a "bye" is, in terms of legal terminology? I believe it was in the course of Sir Walter's trial for treason that there was a reference to a "bye" that was found to have been committed, or possibly alluded to. Similarly, it was my understanding that there is a nautical term known as a "bye" for sailing ships. I don't think it's in reference to saying "good-by." Instead, it's possible that "bye" is a reference to a detour taken, usually by some other route, as in travelling by going east. Should I have tried Wiktionary http://en.wiktionary.org instead of Wikipedia? Dexter Nextnumber (talk) 20:29, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

== What does the word really means. Does it mean go with God or God bless you, or the pope blesses you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.69.210.3 (talk • contribs) .

See Goodbye for an explanation, that did come from "god be with you". --iMeowbot~Meow 23:46, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, in old English: "God be with ye". However, commonly the word is not used to imply any religious affiliation. It has turned into a simple phrase meaning farewell, when parting.

It's another way of say the opposite of hello. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.109.20.118 (talk) 00:01, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
