Used only in the idiom "Good Riddance!" But why? Can't a store have a nice Riddance Sale? That's what yard/garage/tag sales are, too.
Can there be a bad riddance? "Oops, you shouldn't have thrown that Picasso out."
Is "Good Riddance" really an idiom? It means what the words add up to, and idioms are usually things that don't really add up. They are just accepted to mean what we say they do.
