Bye, Felicia

In American English, the phrase "Bye, Felicia" (actually spelled "Felisha" in the cast listing) is an informal phrase intended as a dismissive send-off, where the recipient is rendered so unimportant their name is reduced to "Felicia."

This article is about the phrase originating from the 1995 film Friday. For the mixtape by Jordin Sparks, see #ByeFelicia.

The phrase originally comes from a scene involving Angela Means' character Felisha in the American comedy film Friday (1995). According to Ice Cube, who starred in the film and co-wrote its script, "'Bye, Felicia' is the phrase to get anyone out of your face". It was also used in the film Straight Outta Compton (2015) by Ice Cube's son portraying the actor during the hotel party scene when the celebration was unceremoniously interrupted by the boyfriend of a female guest named Felicia.
