Kiss my a**

Censored

Those who are angry use KMA to stand for "kiss my a**." This disdainful acronym is another way of telling someone to take a long walk off a short pier.

While KMA most always stands for "kiss my a**," that phrase's exact meaning depends on context. For example, if you ask someone to do something and they respond with KMA, they're likely not going to do what you asked. In other contexts, KMA may be used as a generic taunt or insult.

Example

Well, maybe you should just KMA!

2. What does KMA stand for in online chat messages?

Keep moving along

People often use KMA to encourage others to push through and endure something undesirable by moving along (think "just keep swimming" from Finding Nemo). For example, you may see people use it in the context of feeling stuck in a job they dislike to help each other to mentally push through tough workdays.

Saying "KMA" to yourself or others can be a way to acknowledge the struggle while keeping your head down and focusing on getting through the day, like a little inside joke for anyone who's ever had a "meh" job they need to survive. It is similar to the KCCO slogan that originated from the World War II era to encourage Great Britain to persevere.

Example

Ugh, another slow day at work. I’m so over this place
Same here. Just gotta KMA until the weekend, honestly
Yeah, keep moving along and hope something better comes up
Exactly. One day at a time!
