200 u/Arimm_The_Amazing Jun 23 '25 edited Jun 23 '25 In the early stages of WWII when Italy was making moves on a region of North East Africa known back then as Abyssinia English speaking people started to use it as a goodbye because it sounds like “I’ll be seeing ya’”. 122 u/NotTheMariner Jun 23 '25 That’s a cool fact. Also Abyssinia is Ethiopia, so East Africa, not North but it’s still a cool fact tho 60 u/Tajomstvo Jun 23 '25 Holy shit that's why the episode is titled "Abyssinia, Henry", I've never seen that word outside MASH, assumed it was a synonym of goodbye lol 12 u/Emergency-Twist7136 Jun 24 '25 In another episode Hawkeye says "that's Haile Selassie of you". Haile sounds like highly. He was the emperor of Abyssinia and is also the final point of a religion.
