Angry Birds is a puzzle video game which released(发行) in December 2009. Since that time, over 12 million copies of the game have been bought from Apple's App Store.
In Angry Birds, players control a group of birds with the aim of killing all the pigs on the playfield. There are several different types of birds used in the game. In the earliest levels, the red bird is the only one that can be used. As the player advances through the game, they can get more
types of birds. Some birds have special abilities. For example, a blue bird can separate into three small birds, a black bird can explode(爆炸), and a white bird can drop explosive eggs. The pigs themselves also
appear in different sizes. While small pigs are weak and are easily killed, larger pigs are able to stand more damage(损伤). And pigs with crowns(皇冠)can take the most damage.
If all of the pigs are killed by the time the last bird is used, the level is completed and the next level is unlocked. Points are scored for each pig killed as well as for damage too, and players can get more points for any unused birds. Upon completing each level, players receive one, two, or three stars, depending on the score received. Players may try unlocked levels as many times as they wish in order to complete them successfully or to get more points or stars.

It's that stage during the middle of a social gathering where you decide to disappear without telling anyone. Not bothered with social niceties(社交礼节), like the long kiss goodbye, you simple stand up and leave. Considered rude by some and a clever escape by many, this move has been named “the Irish Goodbye”.
Why it is called the Irish goodbye remains a mystery. It is said that a woman coined the term after her second Irish boyfriend disappeared without a track（足迹）. People try to disappear without being seen in many ways.
Some choose to run into as few people as possible on their way out. A back door is often useful for a quick exit. Some will plan ahead and try not to bring any large jackets/coats/bags with them. Then they will use the excuse as part of their escape. Some are trying to look as casual as possible when they begin their escape. If someone stops then along the way, they will say they are just dashing to the restroom. 57. We learn from the passage that the move of _______ can be called “the Irish goodbye”.
