What does hmu mean?

Hmu is an abbreviation for the phrase “hit me up.” It’s a request for social invitation, often posted online to announce that you’re looking for something to do and to encourage others to reach out to you. In a one-on-one exchange, it’s an invitation for continued contact, meaning “text me” or “call me” or simply “let’s talk again.”

Hmu can also stand for “hook me up,” which is typically a request to be connected with someone or something in which you have interest.

Finally, hmu can stand for “hold my unicorn,” an internet meme that originated as a joke about the various possibilities of what hmu could stand for.
