An Academic Look at TGFT

TGFT is an initialism abbreviation. This means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Tee Gee Eff Tee), but as this is harder to say than "Thank God for that" it is not often expressed using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation TGFT is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech.

TGFT is also an interjection (i.e., it is not grammatically related to any other part of the sentence). It is included in a sentence to express relief. For example:
  • The car just missed that dog on the road. TGFT!
  • (Here, TGFT is an interjection expressing relief.)
