How well do you know your texting slang?
W8am is a clever abbreviation for "wait a minute" and is used online or in text messages. It is commonly used when a person wants another person to briefly stop what he's doing for a minute, more or less.
The abbreviation condenses "wait" into "w8" and "a minute" into "am." It is similar to the HOAS acronym. You may be asked to "w8am" by a person who wants you to wait for him or someone who wants to finish his point during an argument.
