Off to work

Someone who is headed to their job may use OTW to mean "off to work." Your friends, family, or SO might send you this acronym when they've G2G to work, and so CTN.

However, because people more commonly use OTW to mean "on the way," using it to mean "off to work" can be a bit confusing. If you use OTW to mean "off to work," you may want to provide a bit of context, so the person who receives your message doesn't think you're headed their way.

Example

OTW now. I'll call you on the way home
K, TTYL!
Some men who are OTW
