HMU in text messages means "hit me up." It is a casual slang phrase used to invite someone to contact or message you. Essentially, when someone says "HMU," they are asking you to reach out to them, whether for a chat, making plans, or any other reason. It can be used to signify openness to communication, requests for information, or invitations. Another related meaning is "hook me up," where someone is asking for a connection to something or someone. The acronym is commonly seen on social media, messaging apps, and online listings (for example, sellers might say "any questions, HMU" to invite potential buyers to contact them). Examples of usage include:
- "If you want to hang out later, HMU."
- "HMU with the details about the event."
- "HMU if you’re free next week."
It's a versatile phrase mostly used in informal and casual contexts to keep the conversation or connection going. It is best avoided in formal or professional communication. So, in text, "hmu" simply means to get in touch with me or contact me.
