Bye Felicia is a common meme.

Here's what it means.

When someone says that they're leaving and you could really give two shits less that they are. Their name then becomes "felicia", a random bitch that nobody is sad to see go. They're real name becomes irrelevant because nobody cares what it really is. Instead, they now are "felicia".


Urban Dictionary: bye felicia
