What Does STH Mean in a Text?

The Quick Answer

STH means "Something."

More Observations...

STH is a contraction of the word "something." It is used for brevity in informal writing or texts. While it seems obvious once you know, this contraction is quite difficult to guess because it does not feature the letters M or G, both of which are prominent in how the word sounds. Moreover, it is unusual for contractions to exclude the last letter. As STH is difficult to guess, the contraction STHG is also commonly used. Here are two other contractions that also omit the last letter:

• ANS (answer)
• ADR (address)

Contractions that include the last letter are usually easier to guess. For example:

• ABT (about)
• ATTN (attention)
