Audi!

exclamation

American

goodbye. This announcement that one is leaving is probably a playful deformation of the phrase 'I'm out of here', punning on the brand of German luxury car cov-eted by young males. It almost certainly originated in black street slang where the variant forms 'Audi 5000!' or simply 5000! are also heard. By the mid-1990s, the term was also in use on campuses and among high-school students.
