What does "shm" mean? I'm currently only reading it as an onomatopoeia and I don't think that's right.

Likely a typo for smh, which essentially means "shaking my head".

Huh, and here I thought "smh" was short for something like "*so much hate". That makes more sense.
Wonder what other abbreviations, on the Internet or elsewhere, go completely and blissfully misinterpreted by folks for years.
