Boris Johnson asked for his successor to continue the positive trend that has been created recently. Mainly, to stay close to America, defend Ukraine, and support democracy as well as freedom. Finally, Johnson also delivered a farewell message in an unusual way. He said: Hasta la Vista, Baby.
“Focus on the road ahead, but always remember to check the rearview mirror. And remember on top of that it's not Twitter that matters, it's the people who sent us here. The last few years have been the greatest privilege of my life, and it is also true that I helped the Tory (conservative party) to get the biggest majority in 40 years and a massive reshuffle in British state politics."
“We have transformed our democracy and restored our national independence. I've helped this country through the pandemic and helped save other countries from barbarism, and honestly that's enough to keep going. Most of the missions have been completed. For now. Hasta la vista, baby. Thank you," said Boris Johnson in his speech.
Spanish termHasta la vista is a term in Spanish. Meaning: See you again. The term hasta la vista, then added the word from English baby (darling), is actually not a new thing in the world of entertainment. Especially the political stage.
At first the term Hasta la Vista Baby skyrocketed thanks to singer from the United States, Jody Watley. He released a popular hit song in 1987. Looking for a New Love, his name. The song is about a woman who is in love.
He loves his partner with all his heart. Honey, his love must be one sided. His partner actually spoiled with other women. He also did not want to drag on in sadness and immediately rose to find a new partner. In order to strengthen his resolve, he also inserted the term: Hasta la Vista, Baby.
“My love was true, still you threw it all away. But now you're like the rest. Unworthy of my best. Hasta la vista, baby," a lyric from the woman who went on to win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1988.
The term skyrocketed again, even worldwide when the action film Terminator 2: Judgment Day was released in 1991. The James Cameron fiction film tells the story of a Terminator aka a killing machine (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who is sent from the future to protect a name named John Connor ( Edward Furlong).
In it, John Connor tries to teach the Terminator about being a human. Not robots. He realized that every answer that came out of the mouth of the terminator was often typical of a robot.
Terminator was asked to listen to people talk. John also gave an example of a sentence that he thought was cool. Hasta la Vista, Baby. John asked him to say. Terminator despised the advice of John Connor. However, the term was unexpectedly used by Terminator when destroying his enemy.
Unexpectedly, the term Hasta la Vista, Baby became global. Many follow the way Schwarzenegger who plays the Terminator pronounces Hasta la Vista baby. Schwarzenegger's words appeared on the small screen. Among others, through the television series Futurama (1999), the film American Psycho (2000), and the animated series Cleveland Show (2009).
No less important, Arnold Schwarzenegger who incidentally is also the former Governor of California used the term on the political stage. He criticized Donald Trump's refusal to recognize the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Moreover, Schwarzenegger argues that Donald Trump is the mastermind behind the riots at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. Trump should be aware that his career as the number one person in the United States will soon be over. Arnold immediately said: Hasta la Vista, Donald!
The term was then popularized again by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the political stage a few days ago. He used the term to close his career as a powerful man in England.
"It makes me sad. This is not our America; this is not my America. It's like the grand finale of four years of madness. People say plainly, 'Hasta la vista, Donald!' There it is, there is a door," said Arnold Schwarzenegger as quoted by the Bild newspaper page.
