How well do you know your texting slang?
When you do something uncool, others may refer to that act as an SLM (socially limiting maneuver). You're most likely to encounter this acronym while chatting with your friends, about an awkward or embarrassing event (that you'd likely rather forget about).
In theory, SLMs limit your potential popularity and may cut you off from becoming friends with the kewl kids. In reality, people forget about most "SLMs" fairly quickly, if they even notice them at all.
