Sometimes a simple "hello" and "goodbye" is not interesting enough for a work. Characters in this work will use a different type of greeting or farewell than is used in real life languages. This is often used for works set in fictional cultures, such as fantasy works. Compare to Fantastic Honorifics and Strange Salute. Often overlaps with Hold Your Hippogriffs. See also the Extended Greetings trope. |

The Simpsons: In "Bart to the Future", the phrase "Smell you later" has replaced "Goodbye" in the future, to the point that a sentence like "Smell you later forever" actually makes sense. | |

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Members of the Thieves' Guild will always wave goodbye by whispering "Shadow hide you". This is a reference to their protector, Nocturnal, Daedric Prince of darkness and shadows. "Sithis be with you" or "May the Night Mother wrap you in her cold, loving embrace" are customary farewells in the Dark Brotherhood. Unlike Nocturnal (who, as a Daedric Prince, has believers outside the Thieves' Guild) Sithis and the Night Mother are names you will find worshipped only within the guild of assassins. |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Dragons greet each other by shouting "Yol", which means 'fire'. Since Shouts are magic, this means they're literally breathing fire at each other every time they say hello. They also say "drem yol lok", literally meaing "peace fire sky" — used as a more formal greeting, and also one that explicitly conveys the dragon does not want to fight. "Hello, I come in peace." Simply saying "yol" meanwhile may indicate the exact opposite, reflected in how it produces fire. |

Forgotten Realms: In the 1st Edition AD&D boxed set: People meeting each other for the first time often say "Well met". People who already know each other may say "Well again", or just "Again" if they want to be rude/sarcastic/curt (i.e. "You again!"). People of the Inner Sea lands will greet others with the term "Olore'".

Young Wizards: If a wizard is on a mission and operating in a place with where the Masquerade can be ignored then he or she will greet others with "I am on errantry, and I greet you!". If a wizard is unlucky enough to meet the Big Bad in person, the greeting goes "Fairest and fallen, greetings and defiance!" |

Avatar: The Na'vi greeting roughly translates as "I see you"; the subtext is more akin to 'my soul recognizes your soul', looking past the readily apparent into a deeper truth. | |

Star Trek: The Vulcans give the Vulcan hand gesture along with saying "Live long and prosper" and "Peace and long life", derived from Jewish religious tradition. The Klingons may say "Qapla'," which translates to 'success' or 'victory'. (According to The Klingon Dictionary, a more informal greeting is "nuqneH", which literally translates to 'What do you want?') The Romulan equivalent is "jolan tru" — an exact translation hasn't been given, but it's used for both "hello" and "goodbye." Zigzagged for the phrases "Walk with the prophets" and "May the prophets guide you" said by the Bajorans, which are sometimes said to say goodbye, but other times have a different meaning. |

In Scary Movie 3, the aliens that descend on the Logan's farm grab Simon, President Harris and his bodyguard using a choke hold from behind. They reveal that on their planet, it's the traditional way to say hello. When Simon asks how they say goodbye, one of the aliens delivers a kick to the crotch — "I had to ask," groans Simon. At the end, when the girl from the cursed tape gets sealed in a well, the aliens thank Simon and Cindy for defeating her. Simon says goodbye, and before he has time to realize why he'll regret that, he gets another kick to the crotch. | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Elrond teaches Prince Durin and Disa that Elves do not say "Goodbye" when they part with someone, but "Namárië", which he translates as "go towards goodness". Many fans pointed out that this is an erroneous translation for "Namárië", as it means simply "be well" or "farewell". Possibly the writers confused "Namárië" with "Márienna", which does mean "towards happiness/goodness". | |

The Hunger Games: The eponymous Hunger Games typically open with "May the odds be ever in your favor." This is a wish for luck to the child contestants who will be attempting to kill each other soon. It is also rather ironic, since the games have a lot of staged elements and the odds are often...manipulated. | |

The main cast of Paradise Killer bid each other farewell in a way that references their birthsigns, which are connected to their otherworldly gods. For example, protagonist Lady Love Dies was born under "Kiss Me To The Moon", and everyone always ends conversations with her by saying "And may you reach the moon." | |

The Prisoner (1967): The Village inhabitants use "Be seeing you" (accompanied by a characteristic hand gesture) rather than "goodbye". In one episode, two of the bad guys say goodbye to each other with "Au Revior" and "Auf Weidersehen", French and German approximate translations of "Be Seeing You". | |

In Divergent, some of the factions have their own greetings according to their values: Amity members say "Go with happiness" during food distribution times, since their faction embodies peace, harmony and love. Candor members are shown wishing "May the truth set you free", to people in a trial, who take a serum that makes them admit the truth against their will. Once the trial is done, the customary valediction is "Thank you for your candor", since the accused ends up very distraught. |

The Transformers franchise has the Universal Greeting, "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong", which is understood by nearly every sentient species and intended for overcoming language barriers. It can be roughly translated in a number of ways, including "Hello, we come in peace", "Take me to your leader", "Care to dance?" or "Do you hate dirtwad Decepticons as much as we do?" | |
