Peace Out - Paz Fuera
I'm a middle school Spanish teacher whose students have begged for this translation. Since "peace out" is slang to begin with, I'm comfortable giving the kids a direct and simple slang translation in return. I tell my students to use "paz fuera", since the sentiment involved is similar to the "cambio y fuera" (over and out) phrase commonly used in walkie-talkie lingo. They love it and I hear them saying "¡Paz fuera!" as they leave the classroom (in addition, of course, to the more traditional "hasta" phrases ... luego, mañana, la vista, etc.). The fact that we adults wouldn't say "paz fuera" is what makes it attractive to the students.
