Dear Facebook friends.
We need to talk about ‘HBD’. Not to be confused with the virus (that’s HPV). I’m not talking about the three Scrabble letters that will consecutively get you four, three and two points.
I’m talking about the acronym formerly known as “happy birthday”.
No vowels. No “happy”. Not even “b’day”, which was abbreviated enough but still kinda cute in its own way. “Happy birthday” is now a three-letter word. It’s not even a real acronym: ‘HB’ would be technically correct.

I'd rather not get a message at all! An emoji is better than an "HBD". HBD is for people you don't like, but feel obligated to say something. It's LAME and offensive!
Next thing you'll say that people that wrote LOL aren't actually laughing!
