A form of bidding farewell to a close friend or relative when you know that the probability of ever meeting them again in the future is slim and exceedingly marginal, or when you will cease all contact with the aforementioned individual for a considerable time without sitreps.
The phrase was first brought to public attention after Jim Lovell, aboard Apollo 8, uttered the phrase before going dark behind the Moon for 34 minutes. It was later popularized by mainstream media, such as books or films, where the phrase is occasionally used..

Cunt. The words "see you" correspond to the letters "C" and "U" and the "next Tuesday" implies the "nt." This is one way to describe a person as a cunt when in polite company. Origin in Athens, GA.
"I was having lunch with the mayor and his wife yesterday, and, though he was perfectly agreeable, she was a see-you-next-Tuesday." "After our fourth date I realized she had a thing or two wrong with her see-you-next-Tuesday."

A silly way of saying “goodbye,” when you or someone else is leaving. It commands a response... “After while, crocodile.”
Originating in the 1950s, the correct response to “See you later, alligator!” is “After while, crocodile!” It is NOT “In a while, crocodile,” or even “After a while, crocodile.” As with most phrases and expressions, accuracy often gets lost through the years, like a giant game of telephone, so nowadays you will hear it said all three ways, but there is an original, correct way. “AFTER WHILE, crocodile!” :)
*Listen to the song, “See You Later, Alligator,” by Bill Haley and the Comets, for reference.
