What Does LYMI Mean?

LYMI means "Love You, Mean It." The abbreviation LYMI is commonly seen as a flip, insincere way of signing off a conversation. Although it is a shortened form of the sentence "I love you and I mean it," which could be construed as heartfelt, it is generally taken to indicate a less sincere sentiment.

Of note:
  • "Love You, Mean It" can also be abbreviated as LUMI.
  • To avoid confusion when expressing true love, it is probably best to use an abbreviation such as ILU (I Love You), rather than LYMI.
