PMO is a popular acronym used in texting and on social media platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok.
Generally, PMO is the abbreviation of “Piss Me Off” and “Put Me On” in both text and social media platforms.
“Piss Me Off” is easy to understand. “Piss” is another way to say “Angry.” So “Piss Me Off” means “Make Me Angry.”
“Put Me On” has several meanings: introduce you to someone, ask someone to introduce something to you, and a request for promotion.
Let’s see more details.
Piss Me Off
When someone or something is making you annoyed or angry, you can say “This is really starting to PMO,” which means it’s getting on your nerves or bothering you a lot. It’s a quick way to tell someone that you’re not happy with what they’re doing or what’s happening.
Put Me On
If you use PMO as “Put Me On”, it is a bit more flexible and depends on the situation. You can use it in several different contexts.
1. Get Connected to Other People
“Put me on” is another way to say “introduce me” or “connect me” with someone.
You can use PMO when you want someone to add you on their social media. Additionally, you can use this abbreviation when you ask your friends to connect you to a certain person.
In most cases, when you like someone and you want your friends or acquaintances to introduce you to them, you can say something like, “Hey, can you PMO with Jessica?”
2. Get Connected to Something
Similarly, PMO can be used when you want someone to introduce you to something new, such as a new hobby, music, or any popular trend. Essentially, when you ask someone to “put you on” in this context, you’re asking them to share their knowledge or introduce you to something that you may enjoy or find useful.
For example, if you’ve noticed a friend always talking about a new artist or a genre of music that you’re unfamiliar with, you may say, “I’ve seen you post a lot about indie music lately, can you PMO?” It is a casual way of asking for recommendations and expressing an interest in expanding your horizons.
Or perhaps you’re looking to get into a new hobby, like skateboarding, but don’t know where to start. You could reach out to a more experienced friend by saying, “I’m interested in learning to skateboard. Can you PMO with some tips or the right gear to start with?”
3. A Request for Promotion
PMO can also be a request for promotion. For example, a company owner may ask an influencer to promote the products.
Or, a local musician can post a link to their new song and ask their followers to share it on Instagram: “Just dropped my latest track 🎶 PMO and share it with your friends if you vibe with it! 🔥 #NewMusicAlert.”
How to Reply to PMO?
How you reply to a PMO depends largely on the context in which it was asked. Here are some ways you can respond based on different scenarios:
In the Context of “Piss Me Off”
If someone tells you that you or something else you make is starting to “PMO,” it’s important to address their feelings respectfully and try to calm things down or show that you understand.
- Acknowledge their feelings: “I’m sorry to hear that I’m starting to annoy you. That wasn’t my intention. Can we talk about what specifically is bothering you?” This shows that you’re willing to listen and address the issue.
- Ask for clarification: If it’s not clear why they’re annoyed, you may say, “Can you help me understand what’s making you feel this way so I can avoid it in the future?” It indicates you’re open to feedback and improvement.
- Offer to make amends: If you realize your mistake, offer a solution or a compromise. “I see how that could be annoying. I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. Is there anything I can do right now to make things better?” This demonstrates your willingness to fix the issue and move forward positively.
If it’s not you that makes others angry, show your understanding as well.
For example, when your pissed-off friend texts you PMO, show your empathy and support towards their frustration.
- Friend: “It really PMO when I’m stuck in traffic for hours after a long day at work. 😤”
- You: “That sounds incredibly exhausting. I’m here if you need to let off some steam. 🌟”
If Someone Is Asking to Be Connected to a Person
If You Can Help: “Sure, I’d be happy to introduce you to Jessica. Let me check with her first to see if it’s okay to share her contact info.”
If You Cannot Help: “I’m sorry, but I don’t know Jessica well enough to make an introduction. Maybe try reaching out directly on social media?”
If Someone Wants to Be Introduced to Something New
If You’re Knowledgeable: “Absolutely, I’d love to. Let’s start with some basics and then dive deeper as you get more comfortable. How about we start with a few beginner recommendations?”
If You’re Not the Best Source: “I’m glad you’re interested! I’m not the most knowledgeable about it, but I can direct you to some resources or people who are.”
When Someone Requests a Promotion
If You’re Willing to Promote: “Of course! I’ll check it out and share it on my feed. Can you send me some more details or a brief write-up I can include with my post?”
If You’re Unable to Promote: “I appreciate you thinking of me for this. Currently, I’m swamped and have commitments to other promotions, so I may not be able to give it the attention it deserves. But I wish you the best with it!”
