DM'd

Sent private message

DM'd is the past tense of DM, meaning to send a direct message on social media or messaging platforms.

The apostrophe marks the unusual spelling—DM being an initialism that takes verb inflections: She DM'd me last night, I DM'd him the details.

The term implies private communication as opposed to public posts or comments.
