What Does SDE Mean in a Text?

The Quick Answer

SDE means "Small Dick Energy."

More Observations...

The abbreviation SDE is used online with the meaning "Small Dick Energy." SDE became popular in 2018, shortly after the more well-known term BDE ("Big Dick Energy"), went viral. Just as with BDE, SDE has nothing to do with physical endowment. Whereas BDE is used admiringly to refer to someone (male or female) who possesses understated confidence, SDE is used to refer to people who are the exact opposite. A person with LDE may be arrogant, petty, loud or otherwise obnoxious. For example:

Lee: Every time 45 talks he embarrasses the country.
Sam: That guy put the "dick" in SDE.

"Small Dick Energy" is also referred to as "Little Dick Energy" (LDE) and "Mediocre Dick Energy" (MDE).
