    If you're into North American Language studies, you might stumble upon phrases like "you can kiss your ass goodbye".

    But what does it mean? Does it means from a logical-deductive standpoint (Wittgenstein) that you really can kiss your ass goodbye?

    I mean, what does it really mean?

    Does it mean that you kiss your ass and then say goodbye?

    Does it make any sense that you kiss your ass (perchance) and then say goodbye?

    "You can kiss your ass goodbye."

    It hardly makes any sense.

    • "I don't want to see your ass again. Get your ass out of here. Move your ass" All derivatives of the same expression which was imalgimated with the verb of kissng something goodbye.
