HAGS

Signed yearbook sentiment

HAGS is an acronym used in yearbook signings and casual farewells among students, standing for "have a great summer." The abbreviation belongs to a set of quick sign-off phrases—alongside LYLAS (love you like a sister) and KIT (keep in touch)—that became conventional in American school culture: Thanks for being in my class! HAGS!
