GMTA stands for Great minds think alike, a texting and chat abbreviation.

Playful remark when two people have the same idea or say the same thing at the same moment. Common in texts, forums and comment threads, often after two replies arrive almost simultaneously.

Example: You ordered the tacos too? GMTA, see you at the counter.

Usage notes

The full proverb is sometimes completed with "...but fools seldom differ," a teasing reply that undercuts the compliment. Light and friendly, and acceptable in informal workplace chat when a colleague proposes the same solution.
