Ta-ta for now
TTFN is short for “ta-ta for now,” a quick and easy way to say goodbye at the end of a text or chat conversation.
Originating from the United Kingdom, this term was popularized during the second world war, as it was frequently used by British soldiers. It’s a breezy, informal way to part ways in conversation.
In modern times, TTFN and “ta-ta for now” have become famous through their association with the animated character Tigger, from the Disney’s Winnie the Pooh series. However, it’s worth noting that Tigger never actually uses these phrases in any of the original Winnie the Pooh books.
