"Talk To You Later," used in text messages between a couple involved in an extramarital or otherwise secret romantic relationship where the sender does not wish to make the relationship's existence public knowledge, as doing so could have marital, employment or legal consequences for the sender.
A quick way to abruptly cut a conversation short, "ttyl" is along the lines of the police command, "Maintain radio silence," and it's loosely translated as, "My spouse/family/co-workers/friends are here. Do not send me anything else."
It is unspoken but understood that the receiver will simply stop and wait for something else from the sender.
In the conversation below, dessert refers to casual sex after dinner. Whipped cream optional.

Acronym for "Type to You Later". Widely used by people on internet chat clients, message boards, and instant messange clients. Probably invented by lamers on AOL that they think they are too "cool" to say "good bye" or "I'll talk to you later"

Stands for " talk to you later" or if you're a homosexual you would say " ta ta"
First example used by the regular people, second by the homosexual or gay losers who think they're witty.

I don't see why someone can't just write talk(type) to you later it is not that hard. Or why they can't just say see ya or bye.
