We're all dwarves deep down inside.
Aren't we?
Guys?
"Seeya" or the more articulate "see you", or even "see you later" or "see you round", are curious parting sayings. I don't speak for other dialects, but they're extremely common in Australian English - even if you know that the person you are saying it to is someone you're unlikely to ever meet again. "Seeya" is my own go-to parting saying, and I use it with taxi drivers, staff at restaurants I'll likely never visit again, and various random strangers in places I'll probably never go to again.
I've occasionally pondered about how illogical it is to tell someone that you'll never see again that you will see them later. But that's just part of how language works. It isn't always literal.
