"Write if you get work" -> theo nghĩa cổ thì cụm từ này dùng để chào tạm biệt một cách gần gũi và thân thiết tương tự với "Good-bye, call me sometime". Cụm từ này được dùng phổ biến trong những năm 1940s trong một chương trình radio "Matinee with Bob and Ray" và nó được dùng như là cách kết thúc tin nhắn mang tính thương hiệu của họ.
Ví dụ
And then there were the boys’ unforgettable signoffs (cách kết thúc tin nhắn): “This is Ray Goulding, reminding you to write if you get work.” “And Bob Elliott, reminding you to hang by your thumbs.”
Check all details related to your bank plus financial matters about insurance issues, shared property, taxes and debt because something might head off into left field if you’re not watching. (“Goodbye! Write if you get work!”) Little surprises are popping up everywhere with everyone today.
Like radio comedy itself, they began as a kind of rumor to me; my father used to like to repeat their sign-off line, “Write if you get work…. and hang by your thumbs.” Wally Ballou, the roving reporter played by Elliott, whose broadcasts always began halfway into his first name ("--ly Ballou here”), was a name I knew long before I ever heard that character, “winner of over seven international diction awards,” speak.
