Meaning of toodle-oo | Babel Free
Examples
“In one of the country gardens two gaily-dressed young coster girls are sitting and chatting with the cottager and his wife. They sit⟳ among the flowers and look⟳ for all the world like⟳ young London lasses who have⟳ come⟳ to the village to astonish the country folks with their town finery. When they rise⟳ and bid the old folks good-bye, and coming through the little wicket stand⟳ for a moment at the wooden palings to say⟳ “Toodle-oo” in the cheeriest of Cockney accents, we are at first astonished. For a moment my colleague and I had imagined we were in a rural hamlet and in the heart of green England.”
“"In that case," said Archie, relieved, "cheerio, good luck, pip-pip, toodle-oo, and good-bye-ee! I'll be shifting!"”
