Comments | HOAS stands for "hold on a second", which is used when someone needs to step away from the computer for a little bit. It does not literally mean one second as it can be a couple seconds or minutes. The HOAS acronym comes from the saying used IRL, which is commonly told to impatient people. It is also similar to the "wait a second" phrase. |
