Ttfn

[Bigmallly]

Is it only Americans that use this expression?
We've recently had Banamelon who IMHO was more of a Lemon.
We had Melonmen who we think may have been the same person & called me bladdy Molly.................
Now we have Sunsomebodykitty who also uses this expression....
Could they all be the same person?

ttfn.

Quite possibly BM but its not for me to comment

Never really thought about it before but I suppose the english eqv. is see ya later but never seen it used as an abbreviation and it looks a bit naff. (SYL)

Or

TTFN is just used by pillocks thinking they look clever

Well said Big Molly

My parents used to say TTFN, but they were from another age - having grown up in the twenties and thirties.
Maybe Bag Molly is right and it's only used by North Americans these days. They do tend to be quite backward sometimes with the English language e.g. still using the term faucet when meaning a tap, not getting the hang of spelling colour, etc.

Ok, someone dumb it down for me. What does Ttfn stand for. I really struggle to get my head around silly shortenings

^^^ Ta ta for now Lisa

Ta ta for now

Isn't Ta Ta an English expression anyway? I can't quite hear it in my head as an American phrase.

[Greenleaves]

Too slow....

^^^^Now you know why I don't go in the GR. Mind you, you now look like you have been in there to long

Edit: I did know a couple of camp lads some years ago that used to use ttfn (I don't mean to offend anyone that is camp but hopefully you can work out the way in which it is said)

Is that a new record? Three posts within 60 seconds? Skeggi, GL and NG, well done!

It is William, but some Americans use it as an affectation

[Lisasbolt]

I know quick, unlike me
Well my grandad used to say that but not abbreviated like that, he would also look confused
