What does "wsg" mean in a text?
WSG literally means 'what's good,' a casual greeting asking how things are going or what's up.
The sender genuinely wants to know what's up with you or is looking to start a conversation.
- What's happening?
- How's it going?
- Hey.

People also ask
- Does wsg mean they like me?
- Not directly. It's a casual greeting. Someone who likes you might use it, but it's not proof on its own.
- Is wsg rude or informal?
- It's very informal. It's fine for friends and casual connections, but don't use it with your boss or grandma.
- Should I respond with 'nm wbu'?
- You can, but it's a bit robotic. Adding a little more detail or a question back makes it a better conversation starter.
