HMS

What does HMS stand for in text and online messages?

Hanging myself

Someone who is embarrassed or stressed out might use HMS to mean "hanging myself." Typically, people deploy this acronym hyperbolically, to exaggerate their feelings of shame, depression, or irritation.

For example, if your BFF said something embarrassing to their crush, they might later text you "OMG I'm HMS tonight. I can't believe I said that." This means your BFF is still mortified about their faux pas.

Example

I can't believe I forgot your bday! HMS
Rly, it's NBD

TMW you're about to send HMS
