SUM1 stands for Someone, a texting and chat abbreviation.

Number spelling of "someone," typical of SMS-era texting and early chat rooms. The digit 1 replaces "one," following the same sound logic as NE1 (anyone).

Example: Can sum1 pick me up from the station at 6?

Usage notes

Rare today and looks dated. Part of the family with NE1 (anyone) and NO1 (no one). Younger users type "someone" in full, and autocorrect often fixes it automatically.
