What Does HMU Mean on Snap?

HMU is an online slang term mostly used in Snapchat and other popular messaging platforms. These 3 letters stand for “Hit Me Up” encouraging someone who receives them to get in touch with you.

This acronym has some variations like HMUL – hit me up later, HMUS – hit me up sometime. If you want to talk with someone or you haven’t heard from them for some time, this term is an easy and short way to interact:

• Miss you, HMUL 🤗
• Hey, it’s been forever since we talked! HMU when you’re free to catch up.

This acronym can also be used as an invitation do to something. Here are some examples:

• Anyone interested in a beach day this Saturday? HMU, if you’re in
• Have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. HMU if you want to join!

HMU Slang: Alternative Meaning

Another meaning of HMU slang is “hook me up”. This can be used to ask a person to introduce or connect you to someone or something that interests you.

– Trying to find a yoga retreat, if you know a good one, HMU.

– I saw you talking with Olivia today, could you hmu with her?

How to Respond to HMU Slang?

If someone sends you “hmu” in the text, you can either call them or respond in a message to catch up:

– Feeling a bit low, could use someone to talk to. HMU if you have a moment to chat.

– Sure, will call you in a bit.

If you don’t want to get in touch with a person, you can simply ignore the message or send something like this:

– Have some tea to spill, hmu when you’re free.

– Sorry, I’m really swamped today
