Silly Question
Okay,
I've been enjoying this forum for s few years now. Every now and then, I won't know what an abreviation or initials mean, but can usually figure it out.
Well, I keep seeing several folks referring to their husbands as "DH".
What does the "D" stand for? Dumb? Drunk? Dull? Drippy? Darling?
Please help starighten out this confused sole....

I've wondered about this, too, and I think the "Dear" is odd. Why not just "H"? I suppose it is nice to refer to our husbands as "Dear," but people don't generally refer to their husband as my "dear husband" in normal conversation.

I totally agree that it is widely used on Fodor's and the internet. I just find it "odd" because it is not something we would hear in our everyday speaking language, as opposed to computer language. I guess there is another language emerging!

Becca,
I agree with you. And I think there is something gender related to the use of DH, and all the other "dears". Most men who post here, refer to "my wife" or "my son/daughter".
Although I prefer all the "dears", rather than "my Hubby".
