ITYM

An initialism of "I think/thought you mean/meant," used in text messages and online communications.
1. Used to correct a mistake in another person's writing, often for humorous, ironic, or sarcastic effect. A: "I just need to finish my chorus before I can go out 2nite." B: "ITYM 'chores' lol" A: "Sorry, bit groggy today. Didn't sleep well last night." B: "Hmm, ITYM 'drank too much last night' ;) "
2. Used to clarify the intended meaning of what another person wrote. A: "Why are you attacking me? I agree with OP!" B: "Sorry, ITYM the OP was being rude and wanted to defend them. My mistake."
