CategoriesTexting & Internet Slang

CYA stands for See ya, a texting and chat abbreviation.

Casual goodbye written the way it sounds, used in texts, chats and gaming lobbies. The tone is relaxed and friendly, roughly the same as saying "see you" on the way out the door.

Example: Cya tomorrow, and thanks again for the ride home!

Usage notes

In office slang the same letters mean "cover your a**," protecting oneself from blame, so a "CYA email" is very different from a farewell. Pronounced "see ya." Sometimes extended to "cya l8r."
