Don't hold your breath

DHYB is an acronym that stands for "Don't hold your breath." It is used to communicate that the chances of something occurring are slim or that a person may have to wait awhile for something to happen.

The acronym is typically used online and in text messages. The saying comes from the idea that holding your breath until the desired outcome is achieved would be a bad choice because you'll pass out and die before it happens.
