The SMH T-shirt by Reason Clothing features the emoji of the monkey covering its eyes. The emoji is intended to be a visual representation of the proverb "See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil."

For those who aren't well-versed on current Internet lingo, SMH stands for "shaking my head." The acronym is used to express disbelief or disapproval at something incredibly stupid. Coupled with the [see-no-evil monkey emoji](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-gum-emoji), the message is clear: your actions are too stupid for words.

This t-shirt is the perfect gift for the [social media addict](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x-merch-collection) with a sense of humor! Only those who understand the inner workings of Internet communication will understand what this cheeky tee is trying to say.
