If someone sent you a message or you spotted SMTH somewhere on the internet, you might have wondered what that meant.
SMTH is a simple way to shorten "Something."
You might see this on social media, text messages, and anywhere people message.
Like many contractions, SMTH started somewhere in the 1990s or 2000s on bulletin boards, Internet Relay Chat, and again, anywhere people message each other.
It continues to be used today and entered the Urban Dictionary in 2004.
As with anything on the internet, technology and platforms continue to change and evolve, so naturally, newer platforms like TikTok have kept SMTH alive and well at the time of this article.
You can expect that SMTH will be with us for a very long time.
