Ts And Ps

Ts and Ps is an abbreviated saying of the "thoughts and prayers" phrase. People typically use Ts and Ps when reacting to something sad or challenging to send their condolences (although some people send it mockingly in the same vein as "tots and pears").

You might see Ts and Ps in messages or online, especially on social sites like Twitter and Reddit. For example, when a friend shares a video of an epic fail, you might reply with, "Yikes. Ts and Ps to his face."

You may also hear the saying uttered in person, too. For example, if your friend reveals that his pet snake died, you might respond with, "Ts and Ps, my bro."

Since Ts and Ps is an informal saying, most people don't use it for serious things (could be perceived as disrespectful). Instead, they commonly use it when something more trivial happens, like dying in a video game or dropping their plate of food.
