ta ta for now

Breezy parting phrase

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

Ta ta is British informal for goodbye; adding for now softens the farewell into "see you later." The phrase gained wider recognition through the Winnie-the-Pooh character Tigger, often abbreviated TTFN in text messages.
