What does ‘MMCHT’ mean in texting?

‘MMCHT’ is used in a conversation when someone makes outlandish remarks. It is the sound you make when smacking your lips or teeth.

While texting, the usage of the above slang term shows that you’re smacking your lips in reaction to what you’ve just heard or seen.

‘MMCHT’ can be used when you’re mad at someone. For instance, John said ‘MMCHT’ to Jane when he was annoyed. The same can be used to express your disapproval of something or while blame-shifting.

As Urban Dictionary explains: “You make the noise ‘MMCHT’ followed by repeating what you’re accused of. Accompanied with a lean back head jerk to the left while using squinted eyes for more emphasis.”
