Salty Social Media Vocabulary: Motivated by FOMO Edition

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for Salty Social Media Vocabulary! Today’s list runs a broad gamut, so let’s dive right in.

Doxing: the act of researching and publicizing someone’s personal information via the internet. A fairly popular activity of both activists and trolls.  

IDTIMWYTIM: “I Don’t Think it Means What You Think it Means.” Presumably influenced by Inigo Montoya’s popular line from The Princess Bride, this acronym is a common retort to someone who misuses words in a way that indicates they might not know the actual meaning of said word.

Example:

“It was so funny I literally died.”

“You said ‘literally,’ but I don’t think it means what you think it means otherwise you’d be dead right now.”

FOMO: “Fear of missing out.”

Example: I wanted to leave the party sooner, but because of my FOMO I didn’t leave until late.  

 

IMO or IMHO: “In My Opinion” or “In My Humble Opinion.”

Example: “IMHO, Disney is overrated.”

AAMOF: “As a Matter of Fact.”

Example: “As a matter of fact, Disney makes lots of money.”
