Bullet that meant goodbye for someone? (7,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parting shot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bullet that meant' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'goodbye for someone?' is the wordplay.
'goodbye for' becomes 'parting' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'someone?' becomes 'shot' (shot is a kind of someone).
'parting'+'shot'='PARTING SHOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for parting shot that I've seen is " Cutting remark on leaving".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
