What Does LYM Mean in a Text?

Expressing Love in a Text

There are over 100 novel ways to express love in a text message. Some of them were invented by the iKids (i.e., Millennials, Generation Z, and Generation A), making them just a few decades old, but many of them have been around for centuries. Here's the one that matters to you: LYM means "Love You More."

More Observations...

The abbreviation LYM is a shortened form of the sentence "I Love You More." It is commonly used as a response to a declaration of love and is a way of saying that, no matter how much they love you, your love for them is greater. Of note:

• LYM has the same meaning as the abbreviation ILUM ("I Love You More").
• Boy band JLS released a song entitled "Love You More," which was used as the official Children In Need song in 2010. The single debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart in November of that year and was the band's fourth UK number-one single.
