You could say ALOHA which is "Hello and Goodbye".

You could also "Say Hello and Wave Goodbye."

Might want to stick to using that with your family or the gender of your preference or you could get some strange looks.
It also means "I love you" and a few other things.

I never said, "I say it" but rather "you, impersonal plural" could say it. Thanks though, I didn't know it meant that much in addition to "Hi, bye".

Cool.
So, how does one know what one means when one says that?

You have peaked my curiosity.

Mostly by context. Often it means more than one thing. If you haven't seen your family in a while, it's hello, love, greetings,.... If you walk into a store, they're just saying hi. That kind of thing.
