  1. It’s definitely not the most polite phrase, but “smd” doesn’t always mean there’s trouble afoot. [1] While it can mean you’re texting someone a little agro, it can also be a joking way to respond to an unfair request or some teasing.
    • ”Smd dude I’m not actually trying to date your mom.”
    • ”Smd what do you mean I failed the test?”

When & How to Use “SMD”

PDF download Download Article
  1. When you’re joking around with your buds, use “smd” as a great way to laugh off a lighthearted jab directed at you. If someone says something a little (playfully) mean, shoot back an “smd.” Anyone of any gender can use it this way.
    • Them: "You wanna play basketball later, or are you tired of me beating you?"
      You: “Smd bro I’ll see you on the court.”
    • Them: “I saw you hanging out with Connor, he your boyfriend now or something?”
      You: “Smd you know we’re just friends.”
  2. “Smd” was originally an angry phrase, so use it as a comeback or a forceful “no” when someone’s really ticked you off. Just be careful—yelling “smd” at a person could burn some bridges.
    • Them: "Hey, I need you to work overtime this whole week."
      You: “Smd, I quit!”
    • When girls use “smd,” it usually has a slightly different meaning. Instead of expressing anger, using “smd” says, “I really don’t care what you think.”
      • For example, "You don’t approve of my outfit? Smd dude, I don’t care."
  3. Use "smd" to be flirty , but remember it's not a literal invitation. Despite the intimate nature of the phrase, it’s not a real invitation to, you know, “smd.” However, there are some flirty situations where you can drop in “smd.” If you already have a teasing relationship with someone, what could be seen as annoyance may actually be flirting. Look at emojis and other acronyms to help determine context. If “smd” is followed by a wink or “lol,” that could point to flirting.
    • You: "Do you want to go out tomorrow night?"
      Them: “What, like on a date?”
      You: “Smd don’t get ahead of yourself ;-).”
    • Them: “You got me something for my birthday? What, are you into me or something?”
      You: “Smd, you got a problem with that?”

How to Respond to “SMD” in a Text

  1. If you’re all having fun, there’s nothing wrong with a playful “smd” between friends. When someone says “smd” in a lighthearted conversation, respond by teasing them a bit.
    • Them: "Hey smd bro"
      You: “you first bro ;-)”
    • Them: “Smd”
      You: “you wish, dude”
  2. Responding to “smd” is all about context. If you feel like someone is coming from a place of frustration when they send you “smd,” just ignore it to avoid escalating the situation. [2] More likely than not, they’re just blowing off a little steam. Change the topic or offer a supportive message instead.
    • Them: "Smd dude are you cheating or something?"
      You: "Nah man, you want to play something else?"
    • Them: “SMD I can’t believe I didn’t get picked for the team!”
      You: “I’m sorry man, that sucks, what are you doing tomorrow?”
  3. If you received an “smd” text while flirting (enemies to lovers vibes, anyone?), keep up the energy of the rest of the conversation. There’s no specific response to a flirty “smd,” but it can open the doors to some playful teasing.
    • Them: “Smd you didn’t send me a good morning text”
      You: “Oh were you waiting for me? ;-)”
    • Them: "You're busy tonight? Smd I thought we were gonna hang out 😩"
      You: "Lol I told you that already! I'll see you tomorrow 😉"

  1. Not every party has enough to go around, so sharing can become a necessity. If you’re out somewhere with limited drinks, a friend might offer you some of theirs with “smd.”
    • Them: "Ugh, I came too late to get a drink!"
      You: “That sucks man, smd?”

      You: “He’s such a smd.”
  3. Small man’s disease, or small man syndrome, is a personality stereotype where a man feels insecure about his height and over compensates by being aggressive. [4] To any man feeling insecure out there: don’t worry, being short doesn’t compromise your masculinity.
    • Them: "Why’s Todd so competitive all the time?"
      You: “You know he has smd, dude.”
  4. You won’t be hearing this one too often, but back in the 1990s, teens playing Sonic the Hedgehog might send a flip phone text about their “smd”—Sega Mega Drive—gaming console. [5]
    • You: “I can’t wait to play the SMD!”
      Them: “What is this, 1998?”
