On social media, PMOYS stands for ‘Put Me On Your Snapchat.’ The acronym essentially requests or suggests that someone includes you in their Snapchat story.

For example, if you attend an exciting event or a party and want your friends to share that moment on their Snapchat, you might text them “PMOYS.” This means you’re asking them to take a snap with you and add it to their public story, thus sharing it with their other friends or followers.

Usually, it’s a way to prove a friendship or show that two people are hanging out, but the acronym is also used by people looking to extend their popularity on the instant messaging app.
