What is HB meaning in slang?

[Gunnar]

I’ve come across the abbreviation HB in text messages and social media posts, but I’m not exactly sure what it stands for. Does it have more than one meaning depending on the context? I’d like to understand how HB is commonly used in slang and whether it’s meant in a friendly, romantic, or completely different way. Can someone explain?

In texting and social media, HB often stands for Happy Birthday. It’s a short and casual way to send birthday wishes, especially in quick messages, captions, or comments. For example, someone might write HB! Hope you have an amazing day! instead of typing the full phrase. It’s commonly used among friends and online chats where abbreviations are popular and messages are kept brief.
