metoo
Copycat's eager cry
Metoo is an informal, often playful way of saying "me too"—expressing agreement or shared experience in casual digital communication: Want pizza? Metoo!
The compressed spelling mimics quick typing in texts or chats. (Capitalized MeToo is the social movement against sexual harassment.)
