The structure is a simple exclamation, likely a shortened or altered form of "ta ta" (an informal goodbye), with the vowel shifted. It is used in British English, particularly in the Midlands (especially Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and parts of the West Midlands), to say goodbye or farewell. People typically say "Tara a bit" or just "Tara" when leaving. The term originated in regional Midlands dialect as a variant of "ta ta," and remains a strong local marker, though it is less common among younger speakers.
