TGIF stands for Thank God it's Friday, a texting and chat abbreviation.
Celebrates the end of the work or school week, posted on Friday mornings and afternoons on social media and in office chats. It marks the relief of reaching the weekend.
Example: TGIF, pizza and a movie tonight, no alarms tomorrow.
Usage notes
The phrase gave its name to the TGI Fridays restaurant chain, founded in New York City in 1965, and to ABC's Friday-night TV lineup "TGIF," which ran from 1989 to 2000. Widely accepted in casual work chat. Some writers expand it as "thank goodness it's Friday" to avoid the religious reference.
