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.
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.
“Sm” seems too short but “smth” has been used for decades.
Smh
I still don’t know what that means , but I always read it as “Shit in My Hands”
i think it’s ‘shaking my head’
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.
On your standard keyboard accidentally typing m when you meant t would be quite tricky.
It means shake my hand, you’re welcome
I guess that’s what it means now

It was a figure of writing in old chatrooms and bulletin boards.
Much like how gifs work, I presume.
