The internet is full of acronyms, and HMU is a classic one you might come across in conversations with friends, family, or colleagues.

Acronyms are abbreviations of words used to cut down on the time it takes to type. Acronyms are often typed and easier to understand when typed in capital letters.

There's no shame in seeing an acronym you don't recognize, and it's happened to everybody (or it eventually will).

HMU means “Hit Me Up”

HMU, or Hit Me Up, often means that person asks you to get ahold of them, make plans, or meet up somewhere.

For example:
What are you doing later? Nothing, HMU
HMU at Starbucks at 9:00

HMU is believed to have started in hip-hop culture and was used with pagers. The popularity continued when HMU was added to the Urban Dictionary in 2009, and the popularity continues with smartphones.
