I don't know how many times I had to look up "SMH" before I got it.

Then people started using "SMDH", and I could start all over again, because you can't figure simple damn things out after a certain age.

Acronyms are a pet peeve of mine. Basically useless and now you need tribal knowledge to understand what the hell someone is talking about.

I write my texts like I'm writing a cover letter or a wedding invitation to flex on the less erudite and meticulous.

This notion confuses me as an old user
My thumbs hurt from spelling ish out for decades
Plus oldies don't care if you misunderstand right?

“Please talk to me like I’m your grandmother. I’m tired of asking what you mean.”

Those are simple. SMH: System Managed Heraldry, SMDH: Shaving my dog here!

Game Master?

And they’re usually such worthless abbreviations and acronyms that save next to no time. Unless you’ve already defined your acronym or someone mentioned it immediately before you, you’re just confusing a smattering of people.

Thats where my head went too. Does it mean something else?

Gotta be good morning. Seems like a pretty unnecessary abbreviation to me

Man I love CP, if only it didn't take up so much space on my hard drive.

God of War vs Gears of War are my least favorite but there are others like when it’s solo, ie D2.

For those people you want to know that you care enough about them to wish a good morning, but not enough to type out the full words

Make up your own abbreviations to reply is always fun. Or use out of context abbreviations. My abbreviation loving colleague was so confused when I used a few military terms they didn't know.

My partner thought “SMH” meant “so much hate”, and “SMDH” meant “so much damn hate”. It worked perfectly in every situation they heard it in. I taught them the real meaning when I realized this about a half decade into dating.

For your viewing pleasure.

What the fuck do they mean? I'm so old I still haven't heard of them
