TMI stands for “too much information.” A reader may use it to say a detail is more graphic, private, or personal than they wanted.

What Does TMI Mean?

“That part of the story was TMI for the group chat.”

It can be a joke or a boundary. If someone asks you to stop sharing a private detail, respect the request.
