100+ Text Abbreviations You Should Know By Now

With the everyday increasing hype of social media and social media messaging, one should get used to the abbreviations that are mostly used on that social network. Today we’re going to talk about text abbreviations that one should know to send someone a quick message or not look stupid reading when someone else sends you an abbreviation.

I still remember the time when abbreviations never existed, seriously when I started using Facebook there were hardly any Facebook abbreviations and slowly people started abbreviations “Thank You”, “Take Care”, “See Ya”, “Good Night” and then we never stopped. Now if we are to message someone, regardless of it being Facebook, we only use text abbreviations, and most of the time they are all the same as the Facebook abbreviations.

There are a lot of users who still find it really hard to get used to these “Facebook Slang” and all sort of abbreviations. I still get and see lots of the messages that do not make any sense at all. And truly speaking most of the abbreviations that I see don’t make any sense at all, most of them are just created by a bunch of users that are so lazy to type a word or just trying to be cool using these Facebook/ Text abbreviations that do not make any sense at all.

Let me cover a few very popular slangs lots of users like to use and how to use them properly.

What Does WYO Mean In Texting?

WYO simply stands for “what your on”, this has two meanings and depending upon the situation it is used can mean different things.

It either means, what are you doing or when you would like to make plans with someone else. On the other hand, it can also mean what are they trying to do, say, or mean.

Scenario one – WYO for making plans

Let’s say you called in sick for work and reach out to a friend, you can ask them WYO. This means what they are up to and if they would give you company to do whatever you plan to do.

Scenario two – WYO in an argument

Either it’s a heated argument or not, when someone says something that does not make too much sense, you can reply back with WYO. It simply means “what are your on about?” Like what are you trying to say or what the F*** do you mean?

This is very common slang in Australia and maybe not much for the part of the world you are from.

WYO meaning in texting can mean two things. It stands for “What You On” and is either used to ask what someone is up to and make plans with them or when you don’t agree with what someone is saying and want them to know that.

What Does BMS Mean On Tiktok?

If you have been on Tiktok you might have come across the work BMS, which stands for “Broke My Scale”. No, they are not referring to your scale or judging you by your weight, it actually is a compliment.

They are trying to say that you look or are so attractive that if there was a scale of measurement of attractiveness, you would break that scale or would be off the charts.

This is widely used by users on Snapchat too. So if you would like to give the highest of compliments next time to someone on Tiktok or Snapchat, leave a BMB or Broke my scale comment on their posts or DM.

BMS stands for broke my scale on TikTok. It’s an expression of praise of beauty or attractiveness and if there was a scale to measure it you would break that scale. In other words, you are 100 out of 10.

What Does SUS Mean In Text ?

SUS is an abbreviation for “Suspense”, “Suspicious”, “Suspect” and any situation or person that is suspicious or shady. In some cases, it can also mean slang for “stay quiet”.

For e.g. If someone texts you “It’s kindsa sus that this person did this”. What it means is, it’s kind of suspicious that this person was able to do this and there is more to it.

SUS simply means the situation, person, or subject mentioned in the text message is suspicious or there is more to the situation than what it actually seems.
