This abbreviation generally stands for Ask Me Anything. It is a chat topic or general discussion forum thread. Users can ask the OP (Original Poster) questions relating to a specific aspect of their life, fame, or career. The term AMA has been in usage since the 1990s. Its origins began in an AOL chatroom. As the chatroom was placed in a romance category, the questions were of a sexual nature. Since Reddit opened in 2005, AMA lost its sexual tones and became more popular because of a subreddit dedicated to the topic.
Not all AMA threads are hosted by high-profile people and celebrities (though these are the most popular and well-known ones). Normal people with interesting jobs or interesting experiences can also host these online interviews. Some of the most notable celebrity AMAs on Reddit are:
When a celebrity hosts an AMA, they usually post proof to prove it's really them answering the questions. If you google the term AMA, Reddit is the first website to appear. It is the most popular place for the discussions to take place. In recent years, YouTubers have made AMA videos. They encourage their subscribers can post their questions on Twitter, or in the YouTube comments so they can answer them in a follow-up video.
Imagine two people having a conversation:
This abbreviation is commonly used on various social media platforms. When a sender is using this term so by this, they mean they want you to ask anything about themselves, which includes personal questions too, as they are getting comfortable with you and are opening up to you.
For example: “AMA, I just had my dinner and I’m free now.”
This term is used especially you want another person to know more about you.
Imagine two people are having a conversation:
Rohan: AMA, let’s know each other more.
Anjali: So, what is your favorite pass time hobby?
