GFY

What does GFY stand for?

Good for you

When you see ‘GFY’, it stands for “good for you”. It’s a quick way to say “awesome”, “well done”, or “congrats!”

But remember, context is key. If you tell a friend, “I got chased by a massive shark,” and they respond with “GFY,” they’re most likely using it sarcastically. They’re not really thrilled about your oceanic adventure.

Another thing to note is that GFY can also be an expression of envy. Say you win the lottery and share the news with your not-so-rich buddies, their reply might be a slightly envious “GFY.”
