"Toodles"

TATA

Think of how a British child might say goodbye in a playful, two-syllable way.

"Toodles" is a casual, playful way to say goodbye, often used in British English. The answer "TATA" mirrors this meaning—it’s another informal farewell, commonly heard in the UK and inspired by the sound of a trumpet or horn. The clue relies on the shared lighthearted tone of both phrases, with "TATA" being the more concise, almost childlike version of waving someone off. Think of it like a verbal wink between the two words.
