It’s a form of snickering, sort of a short snicker-snort.

HAHAHA!!

A friend of mine is a linguist from another country. She is quite fascinated with taboo language and forgot that she shouldn’t say “Niggardly” here as in a quick conversation it could be misunderstood.

Snigger is a snicker under the hand, or behind your hand on your mouth.
