What Does LOML Mean in a Text?

Expressing Love in a Text

There are over 100 novel ways to express love in a text message. Some of them were invented by the iKids (i.e., Millennials, Generation Z, and Generation A), making them just a few decades old, but many of them have been around for centuries. Here's the one that matters to you: LOML means "Love Of My Life."

More Observations...

The abbreviation LOML refers to a person, thing, or pastime that the speaker feels an overwhelming passion for. It is most commonly used when referring to partners, but it is also used for sports teams and inanimate objects (e.g., cars, motorbikes). "Love Of My Life" and LOML are also often used as a term of endearment, when talking to a partner. For example:
  • Husband: How are you today, LOML?
  • Wife: No, you can't go to the football. You promised to take Jack to the petting zoo.
Extra emphasis can be added to LOML, by adding the words "One True" to make OTLOML ("One True Love Of My Life").
