I made the soft jaws beforehand. He just had to mill out a new flat surface. smh my head.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Unrelated but SMH already stands for Shaking My Head.

So your essentially wrote “shaking my head my head”

If I had a dollar for every time I'd heard someone repeat words in an acronym I'd already be at the ATM machine cashing out.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

don’t forget your pin number

[-] Master@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

If you shake it more than twice you are playing with it.

You’ll go blind.

I always replace it with So Much Hate. works in all the same situations, but a bit angrier

It's an intentional word meme, sometimes inducing damn. Similar one is RIP in peace or RIP in pieces. Most writing it know it's wrong, but do it on purpose.

Probably stemming from that time we were all talking about how VIN number, PIN number, ATM machine etc were all wrong because RAS syndrome, another joke name but coined for the syndrome in now.

There are also recursive acronyms, often intentionally humorous, like WINE meaning 'WINE Is Not an Emulator' and EINE 'EINE Is Not Emacs'.

Does it stand for shake/shaking? I've always used it to mean smack/smacking my head. As in facepalming.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Don't be too upset at yourself. I used to think that it stood for "suck me homie".

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

My version kind of works the same way "I want to rock and roll all night and part of every day" works.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago
