When you head outside and notice that the temperature has risen a lot, you know that summer has arrived. Or maybe even later when coffee shops add the famous Pumpkin-Spice flavor to their menus.

To better understand this phrase, we will discuss the meanings, origins, and uses of \u201cszn\u201d. This post unpacks the meaning and origin of this expression.<\/p>\n
The shorthand word \u201cSZN\u201d is a quick way of saying \u201cseason\u201d. The abbreviation is most often used in text and online messaging. Most of the time it will refer to the actual seasons of the year, like spring, or fall. But it is also common to use it for trends like \u201cfootball szn\u201d or astrological periods such as \u201cscorpio szn\u201d. It tends to vary from person to person.<\/strong><\/p>\n SZN is one of the phrases that is simply used as a shorter way of writing an actual word, so you can use it for almost any occasion.
