“HG” usually means “Holy Grail”, referring to someone’s favorite or best item, often used for beauty products, games, or collectibles.

HG can have several meanings depending on context. In science, it’s the chemical symbol for mercury (from Latin hydrargyrum). In gaming, HG can mean Headshot Game or High Grade. In sports, it might refer to Home Game. In texting or social media, HG may also stand for Holy Grail or Hungry Girl.
