While you may think that "SMH" is exclusive to TikTok, it's not. Unfortunately, if you're out of the loop on this one, then you've probably been out of the loop on internet slang for a while. But don't worry, because we have a quick guide for many other common slang terms you'll find in the comments section on TikTok and most other social media sites. Before you know it, you'll be able to understand most of what Gen Z says online (though we can't guarantee you'll blend in).

• FOMO: Fear of missing out — You'll probably find yourself using this one when you drag yourself out to a friend's gathering even though you weren't in the mood because you just couldn't stand the thought of being left out.
• OOMF: One of my followers — Typically, whichever one of your "followers" this refers to is someone you're interested in. Of course, they actually have to follow you for this to be an effective slang term.

• IMO: In my opinion — This one is pretty self explanatory.
• IYKYK: If you know, you know — As a forewarning, if you don't know what they're talking about when this is used, then you probably won't understand, and the TikTok is likely not intended for you.
• IB: Inspired by — As TikTok users grapple with the ethics of creating new works heavily inspired by others, many will write "IB" in their description or comments to acknowledge the other creators doing similar things.
