TMI
“TMI” is an abbreviation used in texting, online messaging, and casual conversations. It stands for “Too Much Information.”
People use it when they feel that someone has shared an excessive or overly personal amount of detail about a topic, often to the point of making the conversation uncomfortable or inappropriate.
For example:
– Person A: “I had the weirdest dream last night. It involved talking vegetables, and I was wearing a banana suit.”
– Person B: “TMI, I really didn’t need to know that much about your dream.”
Encountering “TMI” in conversation typically means that someone is indicating that the level of detail shared in a conversation is excessive or making them uncomfortable. It’s a way of suggesting that the speaker should be more mindful of what they disclose.
