A cheerful British dialectal farewell combining 'cheery' (full of good cheer) with 'bye,' creating a send-off that's warmer and more upbeat than a plain goodbye. It's the kind of sign-off that makes even a routine parting feel like a minor celebration, and it's particularly associated with northern England and certain parts of regional British speech. 'Cheery-bye' is the verbal equivalent of a wave and a smile as someone rounds the corner.
