So, last night I was online browsing through friends' Facebook statuses when I received a notification that someone commented my last blog. All they responded with was "SMH". Now, I'm pretty good with the whole internet lingo thing and I've heard this term many times before. However, I just always assumed it was one of those noises people make. Kind of like how 'haha' means you're laughing and 'shhh' means be quiet. I honestly thought 'smh' was just a sound that voiced some kind of disapproval.
And then I Googled.
Turns out, smh, actually stands for 'shaking my head'. I couldn't believe that I never knew this. And then I started wondering, what other internet expressions do I not know?? What other internet jargon does everyone else not know?!?
So, here it is.
I've compiled a list of the common (and a few not so common) internet terminologies. Feel free to comment with your own favorite term as well So, here it is.
