PMing
- 1Present participle and gerund of PM.
He spent the whole meeting PMing colleagues instead of paying attention.
PMing the moderator directly is faster than posting in the public thread.
Note
A verb made from a noun: PM began as an initialism for "private message," and the -ing ending is added directly to the capitals. In the messaging sense the verb is transitive, so the person is the direct object: you are PMing the moderator, not PMing to the moderator. The same spelling also serves the verb meaning "to project manage," where the object is the work rather than a person, as in PMing a product launch.
