--- End quote ---
Some Brits do. Short for "Thank you", at least in the context I've heard the Beatles use it :laugh: probably not what Jeph was going for here. In this case probably a terse "ta ta!" as in "goodbye" as in "get out of my hand you little weasel".

Certainly Scots use it for Thanks. (But it was a bit odd seeing bubbles using it)
Don't think I've ever heardit used as an even shorter version of Ta-ta, or ta-ra (both 'see ya')

--- Quote from: Gyrre on 14 Jun 2018, 20:25 ---I do believe I "called it" on the bed springs back when folks were first asking why they don't just share the bed.
--- End quote ---
Is there a term analogous to "called it" when you didn't so much predict something as to make it happen?
--- End quote ---
I believe that the saying is "caused it!".
--- End quote ---
I dunno, it's not quite as punchy, somehow. :clairedoge:
--- End quote ---
Naming calls.
EDIT:
Oh, also: From your lips to God's ears.
SpanielBear:
The death of the bed. It's true, it is a good framing device. It actually makes me think those who have predicted Q.C. is wrapping up may be onto something.
Zebediah:
QC wrapping up? Well, Yelling Bird revealed Jeph’s retirement plan a few years ago, and it seems like he’s starting to implement phase 1, so...
;)

I'm like 90% we've seen them climb stairs to the apartment, so...
--- End quote ---
Hopefully, Juicy is in the apartment below them, because I can't think of anyone else in the comic I'd be willing to subject to that.

Except she’s likely to complain to the superintendent who’s probably not going to be pleased that their lovemaking knocked all the plaster off the ceiling.
