What does RMB mean on TikTok?

RMB stands for – Rolling My Brains. It is a funnier version of “Rolling Your Eyes”, done to express annoyance, disinterest, and impatience.

Say you’re faced with a life situation that’s beyond your mental bandwidth to deal with, then rolling your brains is the solution.

Urban Dictionary defines it as: “Its taking�rolling your eyes to the extreme. When someone says RMB they are so done�with the subject/situation that their brain is literally�cringing�and rolling back.”

The same abbreviation means a couple more things – Remember, Race Me Back, and Right Mouse Button in gaming.

Presumably referring to a lost relationship, one TikTok user wrote: “Don’t worry I’m not going to beg you to stay, but just RMB.”

“POV: When they say I look thick in that dress, Imma RMB,” said another.

A third user wrote: “Me RMB cus he’s after another woman.”
