hru

Definition

The passive-aggressive text abbreviation for 'how are you' that serves as a conversational trap. The sender has zero interest in your actual wellbeing and is simply performing the minimum social ritual necessary to pivot the conversation back to themselves. It's the digital equivalent of asking someone a question while already talking over their answer.

Example Usage

She sent me 'hru' at 2am, and before I could respond, she'd already sent five paragraphs about her ex.
