1. What does AH stand for in online gaming?

Auction house

In MMORPGs and other online games, AH is typically shorthand for "auction house." Via a game's AH, players can put items they own up for auction, to sell them to other players.

For example, World of Warcraft (WoW) has an in-game auction house, in which players can sell or buy weapons, armor, and other items. When discussing this auction house in-game or in WoW-related forums, players often use the AH acronym.

Example

I really need a better leather helmet
Have you checked the AH? I bet you could snag one easily
A WoW player lamenting their poor luck with the AH
A WoW player lamenting their poor luck with the AH

2. What does AH stand for in messages?

At home

AH is a quick way of letting someone know when messaging that you are "at home." For example, your extremely social friend may text you on a Friday night about your location to get you to go out for a drink, and you reply with, "AH. I'm sooo tired."

However, not many use the acronym since people will likely confuse AH with the surprised sound (or the sound you make when the doctor looks at your throat). Instead, people will probably just spell out "at home" or may say they are at the crib or pad (to sound cooler).
