It was used as a parting term. The way it was used had me wondering the meaning. I came away with the idea that the person who used it was concerned about my general well being a little more than usual.

Start in at about 7 minutes to see the whole "Hello & Goodbye" routine.
As always with Carlin, beware of language.

Also the one,"break a leg". Sounds kind of mean to me.

Yes Dean. I was wondering if it was similar to my last post concerning "take care." It seems they are very similiar, but somewhat different.

take care of yourself, is usually a term of endearment. in other words i hope to see you again. now, it can be in concern. did the earlier conversation include you having some difficulty or medical issue? it still leads back to an endearment.
freind of mine was sick recently. on the way out, i said, "take care of yourself", meaning i hope to see you again....
in other words, if you were heading out the door, would your rather hear, f off and die!, or take care of yourself ?
unless the person is a real jerk, it means, they hope to see you again....

Paula Abdul thought is was a threat when a contestant on American Idol said it to her and the other judges after he just got kicked off the show....but she's a total airhead.
It means they care about your well being.

So,when people tell me certain things I can do to myself they are in reality wishing me well?
