That’s funny! Do you say “an Irish goodbye” in English when someone leaves without saying goodbye? In German, we say “einen polnischen Abgang machen”, which literally means “to make a Polish exit.” (Apologies to my Polish friends!)
Edit:
Just learned international Names for it:
Germany: Polnischer Abgang (Polish exit)
United States & Ireland: Irish goodbye
United Kingdom: French exit
France: filer à l'anglaise (to leave the English way)
Poland: wyjść po angielsku (to leave the English way)

Wait, Ireland calls it "Irish goodbye", too?
Germans: Polish people are rude, they leave without saying goodbye.
Polish: English people are rude, they leave without saying goodbye.
English: Irish people are rude, they leave without saying goodbye.
Irish: Aye.
The Irish don't really say it other than those who've picked up the phrase from the Americans.
Parts of Switzerland its aldo Französischer Abgang / French exit
i like to tell everyone I'm making an Irish goodbye because that's what the Irish would do
"My planet needs me"
"I'm off! Bye!"
