1
Use "smd" as a playful response to teasing. When you’re joking around with your buds, use “smd” as a great way to laugh off a lighthearted jab directed at you. If someone says something a little (playfully) mean, shoot back an “smd.” Anyone of any gender can use it this way.
- Them: "You wanna play basketball later, or are you tired of me beating you?"
  You: “Smd bro I’ll see you on the court.”
- Them: “I saw you hanging out with Connor, he your boyfriend now or something?”
  You: “Smd you know we’re just friends.”
2
Send “smd” as an angry interjection or to say "no." “Smd” was originally an angry phrase, so use it as a comeback or a forceful “no” when someone’s really ticked you off. Just be careful—yelling “smd” at a person could burn some bridges.
- Them: "Hey, I need you to work overtime this whole week."
  You: “Smd, I quit!”
- When girls use “smd,” it usually has a slightly different meaning. Instead of expressing anger, using “smd” says, “I really don’t care what you think.”
  - For example, "You don’t approve of my outfit? Smd dude, I don’t care."

Use "smd" to be flirty, but remember it's not a literal invitation. Despite the intimate nature of the phrase, it’s not a real invitation to, you know, “smd.” However, there are some flirty situations where you can drop in “smd.” If you already have a teasing relationship with someone, what could be seen as annoyance may actually be flirting. Look at emojis and other acronyms to help determine context. If “smd” is followed by a wink or “lol,” that could point to flirting.
- You: "Do you want to go out tomorrow night?"
  Them: “What, like on a date?”
  You: “Smd don’t get ahead of yourself ;-).”
- Them: “You got me something for my birthday? What, are you into me or something?”
  You: “Smd, you got a problem with that?”

  You: “Oh were you waiting for me? ;-)”
