  I think the commenter knew that and was being cheeky with the acronym.

    It's not an acronym, it's an enthusiastic misspelling.

      In this case it's also a backronym, which is an ancroynm.

      Yeah... that's why I said it was cheeky. Whoosh.
      • dvt 9y ago
        Whoops :)

  "Here by HODL I mean".... pretty much makes it explicit what I am meaning by the term... which has been used in different ways. You are linking to the origination of the meme, like I've somehow made an error by specifying the specific use I'm intending.... which only reveals you're less familiar with the term than me.

    He isnt complaining about your intended meaning. He is complaining about your spelling of the term. It shouldn't be in caps because it's an intentional misspelling, not a sentence reduced to each words first letter
