You're shaking your head your fucking head?

People sometimes say SMH like this for emphasis. Another one I’ve seen is “SMHing my SMH”. It’s not meant to be literal. It’s similar to when an acronym becomes its own word, like ATM machine.

It's a weird fucking acronym. I have never in my life hear a person actually say "shaking my head" but apparently some people say it SO FUCKING MUCH that I was seeing "SMH" for ten years before I even knew what it meant.

Nice. The word “fucking” here isn’t an adjective, it’s a verb.
