Chmn

/ˌsiːˌeɪtʃˈɛm.ɛn/ abbreviation

Definition

An abbreviation for 'chairman,' the person who leads a board or organization.

Etymology

A contraction formed by removing vowels from 'chairman,' a common 20th-century abbreviation practice that saved space in printed documents and formal writing.

Kelly Says

Before emails and texts, abbreviations like CHMN were crucial for fitting information into limited space on memos and forms, but texting ironically brought back this 1950s habit under a new name: 'txt speak'!
