Why does Simon & Gafurnkel say there's '50 ways to leave your lover' but only list 6?

1. You just slip out the back, Jack
2. Make a new plan, Stan
3. You don't need to be Coy, Roy Just get yourself free
4. Hop on the bus, Gus
5. You don't need to discuss Musk
6. Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free

He said, "there must be" and we're asked to consider those 6 (actually 5, as one is "don't need to discuss much" which functions as a mini-bridge here) as examples.

Geez. Do you know how long the song would be to list 50?

The lyrics say "There must be 50 ways...". Like "Seemed like there was a million fat girls at the bar last night".

Hyperbole is a tough one.

If musk is an issue in your relationship, it's understandable why someone left.

If they just listed reasons, the song would be 30 min long and get really dark when it turned to domestic violence.

The songwriters were clairvoyant WRT Grimes.

Yeah, I'm afraid there was no "Gafurnkel" involved here, regardless of thread title.

Art Garfunkel's got nothing to do with that ditty.
