Later Days

A term used in Southern California back in the early 1970's and probably used in the late 1960's up in Frisco.

"Later days" was a term used like "dude." Depending on the inflection in your voice, it could mean several things.

It could mean everything from "i"ll see you tomorrow," to "if I ever see you again, I will kill you."

In SoCal, the term eventually shortened down to "later on."
This became a generic term for, "see you later." It lost most of its inflection power at this point.

Probably a year later or so, (the time it takes for slang to morph) the term shortened down to "later."

It lost all inflection and became a simple goodbye.

Give you a tinkle later

It's basically another way to say that you will give someone a call later on, like when you get home or have some free time.

The origin of the line 'you and your m8 where bunking off school,right, and you were enjoying ur 99p bargain mcflurry on ya local council bench, when all of a suddenly your other m8’s nan appears after a quick trip to the local tescos (supermarket) down the road, and you have a quick chit chat. And right before she is about to leave she says “I’ll give your mum a tinkle later” and walks off like a fuckin ledge.'

You can thank me later

It really does depend on the context/situation.
If someone has done you a favour and you tell them that you don't know how to thank them, they could say: "You can thank me later" in the sense of that you can do them a favour later and help them with something.

If someone does you a favour and you don't thank them for it and don't seem grateful, they may say in a joking or sarcastic way: "You can thank me later" as a gentle or subtle (even unsubtle) reminder that you should be grateful to them.

If someone gives you a word of warning or tips to avoid you getting into a crisis and you think the advice is unnecessary, they might say: "You can thank me later" or "you'll thank me later" in the sense that although you don't take their words/actions seriously now you'll eventually realise that they were right and will be grateful to them - even if you're not grateful now.
