What Does Whomst’d’ve Mean?

This slang term is a made-up word by people on the internet and it means whom/whoms/whomst did or have.

The origin of this phrase is fairly new. In 2016, a user on the internet uploaded a definition of the fake word “whomst” to a site and defined it as a more intellectual way of asking “who” or “whom.” However, it is ironically intellectual since most people know the term “whomst” is not even a real word. The word was used in memes circulated on the internet and eventually additions were made to it, such as in the term mentioned above, by 2017.
