What Does SMH Meaning in Text?

[Donte]

I keep seeing “SMH” in my child’s text messages and social media comments, and I’m not totally sure what SMH meaning is supposed to be. From the context, it sometimes looks negative or sarcastic. Can someone explain what SMH meaning in text usually stands for? Is it harmless slang, or could it be used in a disrespectful way? I just want to better understand how kids are using it these days.

In text messaging, "SMH" stands for "Shaking My Head." It's an expression used to convey disappointment, frustration, or disapproval at something. When you see "SMH" in a text, it's like the person is literally shaking their head in disgust or disbelief. It's a common emoji to accompany this abbreviation, often in form, to express the sentiment more clearly.
