The governor's banner is officially transferred during the singing of Auld Lang Syne. The internet says a good translation of the words "auld lang syne" is "times gone by.." The internet also reports that on New Year's Eve, at the end of a good party, individuals pronounce it in various ways from: · For old ang zine, · Far hold ang zyne, · For old aunt Gzyne, · Farheld ang zyne, · Farheld ang sign, · For old ang sign, · For old angsign, · Foothold and sign, · For all the aunts of mine - source: http://www.howstuffworks.com/question279.htm
