Acronym meaning "Chuckling To Myself". Can be used in internet environments to describe the sensation of quietly laughing to a particularly amusing stimulus. While "lol" (acronym of Laughing Out Loud) is used as a filler or placeholder, and often does not equate to joy and laughter, "ctm" is used when you wish to express that odd sensation when you indeed chuckling (or any variation including snorting, giggling, or full out laughing) to yourself.
