Understanding Snapchat’s PMOYS and Social Media Slang
Let me break down this popular Snapchat acronym that’s been floating around lately. PMOYS stands for “Put Me On Your Story” – it’s basically a request from one Snapchat user to another asking to be featured on their Snapchat Story.
Why Do People Use PMOYS?
Think of it as a modern way of saying “Hey, give me a shoutout!” Users often send this when they want to gain more visibility among their friend’s followers or just want to be featured in someone else’s content. It’s particularly popular among teenagers and young adults who are active on the platform.
Common Scenarios for Using PMOYS
Here are some typical situations where you might see PMOYS:
– During birthday celebrations
– When friends are hanging out together
– During special events or parties
– When someone’s trying to grow their Snapchat following
– As part of social media challenges or trends
How to Respond to PMOYS
If someone sends you a PMOYS request, you have a few options. You can:
– Take a photo or video featuring them
– Share their Snapcode
– Post their username
– Create a shoutout mentioning them
PMOYS Etiquette
Like any social media interaction, there’s some unwritten etiquette around PMOYS:
– Don’t overuse it – sending too many PMOYS requests can get annoying
– Return the favor when others feature you
– Ask politely rather than demanding to be featured
– Respect if someone doesn’t want to put you on their story
