What does good ridance mean?

"Good riddance" is an expression meaning "I am glad that something or someone is gone". It expresses a feeling of relief or satisfaction at the departure or removal of something or someone considered undesirable.

Here are some examples:

* "Good riddance to that terrible weather!" (The speaker is glad that the bad weather has ended.)

* "Good riddance to that noisy neighbor!" (The speaker is relieved that the neighbor has moved away.)

* "Good riddance to that old car!" (The speaker is happy to be rid of their unreliable car.)

"Good riddance" is generally considered to be a rather blunt and even harsh expression. It can be used humorously, but it is often used when someone is feeling angry or resentful.
