  In pragmatics, a degreeting refers to the conversational procedure by which two participants of a conversation agree to discontinue the conversation. It is so named because a degreeting concludes a conversation in a similar way that a greeting engages one.
  
  The following conversation is an example of degreeting:
  
      Andrew: "I'll see you later then."
      Bethany: "Yeah ok, see ya!"
      Andrew: "Bye."
