What Does IHYSM Mean?

IHYSM means "I Hate You So Much."

The abbreviation IHYSM is an emphatic expression of dislike that leaves no room for doubt of the sender's true feelings. Unlike other expressions of hatred, such as IHU and IHY, which simply mean "I Hate You," IHYSM is not used ironically, to express jealousy or envy of another's good fortune. The inclusion of the adverbial phrase "So Much" makes it clear that hatred is the genuine emotion being expressed.
