1. abbr. Holding Back Laughter
When someone sends you something funny, but you're in a public or professional place and you can't laugh, instead of responding with LOL or HaHa, you say HBL. That way they know to stop sending you funny things, or they can try and send you something funnier and make you spill your beans.
