ta-ta for now

Casual temporary farewell

Ta-ta for now is a breezy way of saying goodbye, implying the parting is temporary.

It combines the informal British farewell ta-ta with reassurance that you'll see each other again soon.

The phrase gained wider recognition through the Winnie-the-Pooh character Tigger, who abbreviated it as TTFN: Ta-ta for now, darling—I'll call you tomorrow.
