Bye for now
Often seen in the digital world, BFN is a shorthand way of saying “bye for now”. It’s a quick and casual sign-off, hinting that you’re wrapping up the current chat, but expect to catch up again in the near future.
It’s a common sight in online chats, particularly during the end of a lively discussion or a gaming session amongst friends. It’s like a digital wave goodbye, with the promise of another conversation soon.
While more popular in online use, BFN also pops up in text messages. Again, it’s used to cap off a conversation, while leaving the door open for more talks later. This could be through more texts, a phone call, an online chat or even a face-to-face meet-up.
Sometimes, you might see it written as B4N or BB4N. These are just other ways of saying the same thing – a casual, friendly way to end a conversation without closing it off completely.
Example for using ‘BFN’ in a conversation
