FAQ
What does the T stand for in TGIF?
TGIF is an acronym meaning “Thank Goodness It’s Friday,” and so in this case the T stands for tonight in the sense of Fri-night. The TGIE is a common abbreviation meaning Friday evening at night, so where we often see Fridays with no letter twice in a row (ie: TGIF), it may be that that’s what people are using when they type “tie” followed by ‘i’, ie: TI. Either way, if you’re looking for help remembering which weeks go without F at school or work, I recommend these days to rely on when their initials stand for Fridays:
Tuesdays = TMITWIZZOEFRIDAY = Tuesday Night at 8.
What does TGIF mean in Snapchat?
It means “thank god it’s Friday.” It is Friday after all, and TGIF is meant to be a brief break before the weekend starts. Simplifying TGIF as just thanking “god” for Fridays can also be thought of as one way people express appreciation for the work they’ve completed that week. Or alternatively how satisfied they are with their day-to-day lives. But what this actually means is up to you! With Snapchat, there are infinite possibilities about how your future will turn out.
What is TGIF called?
