To ask what HTH at the end of a post means?

Heavenly Terrestial Highness, Heinous Terrible Horrors, Happy Tunes (are) Here?
Help me out!
I've seen it often, but usually the thread I see it on is too serious to ask the meaning of the acronym without seeming off the point and flippant.

TBH, it is often used by posters who seem to be a little arrogant sure of themselves, so please someone enlighten me on what HTH means!

incredibly boringly (and occasionally smugly) - "Hope that helps"

Happy To Help

Sorry if I've offended any HTH people, not my intention, its just that by using that at the end of a post you exclude me, cos I don't understand what you mean by it. I don't necessarily think you are arrogant.

Oh OK - my definition was "wrong" - but I think I like it better!

larks35 · 26/05/2010 23:49

Hope that helps. Usually meant in a twattish way when posters are being completely unhelpful!

Yes, tone depends on content of post. Sometimes genuine, more often sarky as they point out what they consider to be the obvious to stupid irritating old you Grin

What does YY mean?

WeirdAndPissedOff · 29/01/2018 14:08

I've seen others say that HTH comes across as snotty/smug at times too. I'd often used it til then without intending it to come across that way. Blush

YY is yes, yes I believe? So fervent agreement.

Abracadabraapileofbollocks · 29/01/2018 14:10

I've only seen it used in a sarcastic fashion.

Ooh, can we make this a Mumsnet questions thread? What's a Wendy, doing a Wendy, being Wendied, etc?

What is the story with posting a biscuit at people, people seem to get very offended by this?

SumThucker · 29/01/2018 14:27

etap 'Wendying' is when a new friendship is made and another friend gets frozen out, by the Wendy.

Trinity some time ago Gordon Brown was doing a q&a and didn't answer what his favourite biscuit was (or similar). The biscuit is given on a thread as a "this is shit/I don't believe you" answer.
