I wondered that for a few seconds but then figured out it probably means "something" and he ran out of letters in the subject length and had to abbreviate it. If that wasn't the reason, then he's the first person ever to voluntarily abbreviate something to sth and deserves a prize of some sort

edit: Nope, I just tried on a new topic, "something" fits in that subject line just fine. He's just trying to freak us out at the weekend when our brains are on autopilot.

Better than a turkey.

PS: sth apparently is an abbreviation of the much more time-consuming smth!
