What Does M2 Mean in a Text?

The Quick Answer

When used in a text, M2 means "Me Too."

More Details

In texting, "M2" (or "m2") typically stands for "me too," as in "same here" or "I agree." It's a shorthand way of agreeing with someone or expressing that you share the same feelings or opinions, or have had the same experience that they have just mentioned. It is often followed by an exclamation mark for extra impact. For example:

Jo: I love puppies!
Lee: m2! But I couldn't eat a whole one.

Dee: I'm so tired today.
Ali: m2.

"Me too" is also abbreviated as "me2."

M2 should not be confused with #MeToo, which is a movement against sexual harassment and assault that gained prominence in 2017.

M2 is an example of a numeronym, which is an abbreviation that uses numbers to replace sounds or syllables in words. In m2, the letter m replaces the word "me" and the number 2 replaces "too", which sounds similar. This style of abbreviation is common in digital communication (e.g., "b4" (before), "gr8" (great)), as they make messages quicker to type.

Numeronyms have been used since long before the digital era. Many of the early ones were written on the envelopes of letters between lovers. They were often a coded message between the sender and the recipient, thought to allow secret expressions of love or passion. They can be formed in various ways, such as:

Shortening a word by replacing a sequence of letters with the count of those letters (e.g., "i18n" (internationalization) and "a11y" (accessibility).
Combining letters and numbers (e.g, "K9" (canine) and "W3" (World Wide Web).
Using numbers to represent letters or words (e.g., "143" (I love you), "637" (always and forever), and "5201314" (I will love you for a lifetime).
