What Does WYM Meaning in Texting?

[AvaJones]

I came across the abbreviation “WYM” in a text conversation and don’t know what it stands for.
Could you help explain its meaning and how people typically use it in texting?

In texting, WYM is an abbreviation of What You Mean? It is usually employed to seek clarification within a person when the message sent out is confusing, unclear, or shocking. In informal conversation WYM is used to help people to grasp the intent or explanation of the other interlocutor.

Oh yeah, WYM just means “What You Mean?”, people use it casually when they’re confused or want clarification, like “Wait, WYM by that? ”
