Definder - what does the word mean?

What is Goodnight everybody?

A phrase used by Tonight Show host Johnny Carson and then by Late Show host David Letterman to indicate that a humorous point had just come close to crossing a line and getting the show pounced on by network censors. Later adopted by the character Yakko Warner of Animaniacs voiced by Rob Paulsen.

After the Warner Brothers are caught using a bust of Freud as a Pez dispenser, their therapist says 'Stop touching my bust!' Wherein Yakko pauses and looks at the camera, blows a kiss and says 'Goodnight everybody.'
