Maris Racal, a millennial, amused netizens with her admission she didn't know what the Gen Z online slang HNY stood for.
The Kapamilya actress had been seeing HNY on her feed, but it only dawned on her what it meant three days after New Year, on January 3, 2023.
She wrote on Twitter, "akala ko HNY na tawagan ng lahat ng magbeshies. happy new year pala yon akala ko HENNYYYY"
There was valid reason for Maris' thought process as "friends" can be referred to as "frenny" at times.

A netizen commented, "Same realizations bhe. Congratulations to us for realizing bago pa matapos ang unang buwan ng 2023."
Another one wrote another mistranslation: "Ako nga yung NYE, New Years Eve pala yun akala ko Nye Nye Nye Nye"
While most netizens assumed that it is an abbreviated form of the endearment "honey."
