The abbreviation "SMH" stands for "shaking my head." It is commonly used in online chats, text messages, and social media to express disapproval, frustration, disappointment, disbelief, or exasperation about a situation or someone's actions. The phrase conveys a figurative head shake, indicating that something is frustrating, ridiculous, or hard to believe. It is typically used in casual conversations to react to mildly frustrating or silly scenarios but is not meant for serious crises or professional contexts. There are also some less common variations, but "shaking my head" is the primary and widely accepted meaning of SMH.
