An informal written contraction of "come on," dropping both the apostrophe and the space so it can be typed at speed in chat, comments, and texts. It functions as an interjection: pleading ("cmon just one more game"), urging ("cmon team, push mid"), expressing disbelief at a bad call or outcome ("cmon ref"), or coaxing someone into a decision. The form mirrors how the phrase is actually pronounced in casual speech, with the schwa collapsing the two words into a single syllable, and it dominates Twitch chat, Discord, sports threads, and SMS. Despite being technically non-standard, it's so common that style guides for online writing treat it as an accepted register choice rather than a typo.
Cmon dude, you said you would be here twenty minutes ago.
