HL is an internet slang term or abbreviation for “Humblebrag.” It refers to a situation where someone tries to boast or show off, but in a subtle or modest way, often disguised as a complaint or self-deprecation. People use this term to point out instances where individuals try to gain attention or admiration while pretending to be humble. Here are two practical examples of how this term is used:
1. Example:
Person A: Ugh, I’m so embarrassed that my boss gave me a promotion. Now I have to figure out how to redecorate my huge corner office with a view.
Person B: Nice HL, you don’t have to rub your fancy office in our faces.
2. Example:
Person A: I can’t believe my team won the championship game. It’s such a burden to carry this massive trophy around. My arms are killing me!
Person B: Quit with the HL already. We get it, you’re a champion with sore muscles.
