Acronyms have become a basic part of communication in today’s world, but unless you’re under 20 you may not realize what some of them are supposed to mean, here’s a list of the top 10 from 2025 so far.
If you know all of these, you’re officially 16 years old . . .
The site Word Unscrambler used Google Trends to find the most-searched abbreviations of the year so far.
They’re all acronyms we use online, and in texts. How many do you know?
1. FAFO: (Careful!) Short for “[eff] around and find out.” It’s by far #1 with 50% more searches than anything else on the list.
2. SMH: Short for “shaking my head.” (Less common: “so much hate”)
3. PMO: (Careful!) Short for “pisses me off.” It can also mean “put me on,” like “hook me up.” (“PMO, can you follow me on Insta?”)
4. OTP: “One true pairing.” A romantic couple you’re rooting for.
5. TBH: “To be honest.”
6. ATP: “At this point.”
