YHBT

[Usenet: very common] Abbreviation: You Have Been Trolled (see troll, sense 1). Especially used in YHBT. YHL. HAND., which is widely understood to expand to You Have Been Trolled. You Have Lost. Have A Nice Day. You are quite likely to see this if you respond incautiously to a flame-provoking post that was obviously floated as sucker bait.
