What are the acronyms?
 

I keep seeing DH and DD etc.....just wanting to know the correct meaning of these words... everytime I see DH my first inclination is that someone is traveling with their designated hitter and DD Designated Driver....

I have a gut feeling that they simply aren't making it clear to the masses.

Dear Husband, Dear Daughter, Dear Son ...

we don't see reference to DW too often tho....I wonder why.

BTW, OP means original poster or original post, in case you were wondering about that one.

And BTW means by the way ;)

You can google web acronyms (or abbreviations) or something similar and usually find a pretty good list. Not all abbreviations are consistent among all message boards, but it will give you an idea.

By the end of a long trip with family, sometimes they mean Dreaded Husband ...

And don't forget TTT
ToTheTop :D

IMO = I my opinion.

The D can stand for all sorts of things, dumb, ditsy, d@mn, you can the idea from the context of the message. IL changes F, father, to FIL Father in law. SO is significant other and implies a relationship other than mere friendship although the gender of the SO is not mentioned. SP indicate Partner and is usually, but not always, a gay/lesbian partnership. Combinations can be worked in. Such as DSO's MIL. Dear Signigicant Other's Mother in law. Which tell's you more than you want to know about the relationship.

If you want to be modest: IMHO (in my humble opinion).

OTOH on the other hand

OMG there's too many to list LOL!

IMNSHO- in my not so humble opinion

IIRC - If I Remember Correctly (took me forever to figure this one out).

My housekeeper has decided to make up her own cybercodes....I got an email earlier this week..."Is it SF or FC for DINDIN?"..Turns out she wanted to know if I wanted stir fry or fried chicken for dinner.....:D

The acronyms are a code used by those who believe they are "in" and who strive to bewilder others whom they view as "out."

Thanks for the clarification--something the acronyms don't do.

ht2u-or they just have lazy fingers ... lol w/luv s

ISO = in search of

Just remember: SFO is NOT San Francisco. It's the airport only. Common mistake on this website.

OK, but why put the "D" in front of it??? Why not just say "H" for husband or "W" for wife???? And why the word "dear???"
