WYM Meaning
WYM stands for “What you mean?”
“What you mean” is often used in messages between friends and on social media platforms.
It is basically a question that many ask others, when they don’t exactly understand what someone just said. For instance, if someone messages you to look up, you ask them, WYM? .
While the acronym WYM stands for What You Mean, the actual question with the right and appropriate grammar would be ‘What DO you mean’. But since internet slangs have nothing to do with proper grammar, people write such slang however they want and like. Without worrying about grammar or punctuation.
