GTFO stands for Get the f*** out, a texting and chat abbreviation.
Crude exclamation with two senses: a hostile command to leave, or an expression of happy disbelief similar to "no way!" Tone and context decide which is meant.
Example: You won front-row concert tickets? GTFO, that's amazing.
Usage notes
In gaming, "gtfo" also urges teammates to escape a dangerous area quickly. The disbelief sense mirrors the older "get out of here!" Because of the strong profanity it is unsuitable for work, school and customer service.
