TOP DEFINITION
So long definition 1
A casual way to say "goodbye" for now, implying you'll see the person later. Common in South Africa when parting ways. It's like saying "cheers" or "see you around" – not necessarily literally long, just a friendly farewell.
""I've got to get home, it's getting late." – "No problem, so long! See you at work tomorrow," she replied with a wave."
