[ IM CULTURE ][ GEN Z BRAINROT ]
"Got to go" — a quick sign-off announcing an abrupt departure from a conversation, more urgent-sounding than the gentler TTYL.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"GTG, mom's calling me for dinner."
LORE & ORIGIN
Became standard AIM, MSN, and gaming chat vocabulary in the late 1990s alongside TTYL, distinguished by implying a more immediate, unplanned need to leave rather than a casual goodbye.
