Have a nice day is a commonly spoken valediction, typically spoken by service employees or clerks to customers at the end of a transaction, particularly in North America. This repetitious and dutifully polite usage has resulted in the phrase developing a cultural connotation as a stereotypical display of impersonality, disinterest, or even passive-aggressive behavior. ==== Synonyms ==== (informal, familiar) bye, see you later, see ya, have a good one (formal) good morning, good afternoon (short text, informal) HAND ==== Derived terms ==== have a nice day syndrome ==== Related terms ==== have a nice life ==== Translations ====
