SRY stands for Sorry, a texting and chat abbreviation.

Casual apology, often for small mistakes, delays or missed calls. Common in texts and gaming chat when there is no time to type more.

Example: Sry, I fell asleep and missed your call.

Usage notes

Short and informal; for serious apologies, a full message is better, since "sry" can seem insincere. Variants include "soz" (British) and "sowwy" (playful). Avoid it in work emails.
