tootles

British casual farewell

Tootles is a playful, whimsical way of saying goodbye, often used lightheartedly or with affectionate irony: Well, I'm off—tootles!

The word suggests a breezy, casual departure and can sound deliberately campy or old-fashioned.

It likely derives from toodle-oo, another informal farewell.
