Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday, which some people shorten as "CM," is the Monday after Thanksgiving when online retailers offer discounts on many items, causing it to become the biggest online shopping day of the year. It is an extension of the shopping sales featured on Black Friday and the following weekend that allows shoppers to participate even when returning to work.
You will likely see the CM acronym online (e.g., on social media, messages, forums, and articles) and in texts (similar to the BF acronym for Black Friday). For example, people might post about CM deals in a forum or the comments section of a Cyber Monday article. Or, your friend may ask, "u get anything on cm?"
Origin of CM
The name "Cyber Monday" dates back to 2005 when Ellen Davis of the National Retail Federation coined it to describe the significant shopping day for the e-commerce community. It has since grown in usage as e-commerce has thrived, and users began shortening it to "CM" in the 2010s to save time and space.

The term has been part of Disney culture for decades, but it became prevalent in the 2000s and 2010s as Disney forums, blogs, and social media groups grew. You will mostly see CM used by Disney fans, annual passholders, former and current employees, and theme-park influencers online.

When you want a person to call you, send them "CM," which stands for "call me." People typically send it via text message or online when chatting or emailing about a subject that is better suited for verbal discussion via a phone or a device connected to the Internet.
When do I use CM?
You may send CM to someone for various reasons, including when an urgent matter requires a voice call, clarification on a subject that cannot be achieved through text, when you have exciting or surprising news to share, and connecting with a romantic interest.
Examples of specific situations that call for CM are when wanting to reveal the sex of your baby or troubleshooting a technical difficulty. You may also need to send it in order to quell any feelings of resentment after a bitter argument.
