    The saying is really about asking god to remove obstacles from your path and facilitate faster travel. A little like “goodbye” is a very shortened “may god be with you.”

      TIL the etymology of goodbye is a contraction of “god be with you.”

        Which is why I always just say, “Later, butt sniffers.”

        Kinda makes “bye bye” seem a little weird, eh?
