Question: What Is 'PMFJI'? What Does PMFJI Mean?

Answer: "PMFJI" is "Pardon Me for Jumping In". It is also spelled "PMJI" for "Pardon My Jumping In". This is internet shorthand for politely inserting yourself into an online conversation. PMFJI is commonly used when you witness two or more people trading instant messages or forum posts, and you wish to join and contribute to the conversation.

Example of PMJI usage:

• (User 1) Seriously, get those Blizzak snow tires. There is no better snow tire in North America.
• (User 2) No, way. Blizzaks suck... they are too squirmy on pavement. I am going to go with Michelin X Ice or Continental Extreme Contacts. I can get those for under $1400 fully installed on my SUV.
• (User 3) PMFJI, but I just went through the whole winter tire buying cycle last month. I ended up choosing Nokian WR G2 tires from Finland, and they are a better and cheaper choice than Blizzaks and Michelins.
• (User 2) Nokian? I've never heard of those guys.
• (User 3) I am so glad that my tire guy recommended these Nokians. They are absolutely remarkable on our winter roads here in Montana.

The PMFJI expression, like many cultural curiousities of the Internet, is a part of modern English communication.
