this is a phrase we used in the
50s -- "catch ya later" means "
I'll see you later" -- a common
parting shot. In fact, in our crowd it was shortened to just "later."
Was used in either a one-on-one situation or in a
crowd...
as you were leaving to go somewhere (anywhere), that was the phrase you used as you left the area and was addressed to anyone and everyone.. "catch ya later"
-- then you would usually get a "later, man" response.
