Right now it’s popular to reduce words to three letters. On god. Mid. No cap. The trend seems to be removing as much information as possible while still leaving the meaning intact. It’s an art form in the slang world apparently

Call me an old curmudgeon, but I just cannot get behind “sm” or “smth”. I hope that trend dies.
“Rizz” on the other hand is a fantastic term.

I though it stood for “sadomasochism” and was trying to figure out what that meant here.

It’s like the cooties… the key ring is the equivalent of “circle circle dot dot now you’ve had your cooties shot” because today’s youth are spoiled.
The times have surely changed. Kids and their damn key rings…-

“Sm” seems too short but “smth” has been used for decades.
Valmond@lemmy.world 1 day ago

I still don’t know what that means , but I always read it as “Shit in My Hands”

It means shake my hand, you’re welcome

I guess that’s what it means now

Well that’s a different thing, as it’s not an abbreviation, but an acronym. Which is why that actually gave me pause after years of using “smth” online, because I always read “smh” as “something” instead of “shaking my head.”

It always bothered me because “shaking my head” isn’t even a figure of speech people say, so how the fuck can you use an acronym form of the expression.
