More than 10 years ago I was playing an online FPS game daily.
Usually players say “gg” after a match in these games. To be a bit different I started saying “hh”.
I went like this for months until someone complained about what a nazi scum I am. And then it hit me.

a very good Hulk Hogan to you too :^)
I feel stupid about it to this day. I changed my nick in the game immediately to distance myself from it.
Nazi's = bad but that's proper funny like when you hear about parents misusing acronyms or getting tricked into using WAP in text/social.
I guess this was ome case where IBM => HAL style approach shouldn't be applied.
I think a lot of people use h2h for "Happy to Help". When I saw hh , that's what I assumed it meant.
