        It’s def shaking my head (in disappointment). I used to think people were misspelling stg (I swear to god) in reddit til I asked there one day.

    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.

        It was a figure of writing in old chatrooms and bulletin boards.

        Much like how gifs work, I presume.

        Like you just imagine someone shaking their head. Just kine you imagine someone smiling when I type :)

        The thing is, shaking ones head isn’t as universal of a symbol as smiling. Some cultures have nods and shakes the other way around. Which seems somewhat weird.
