What does "dh" mean?
 

Good afternoon! Ok, I guess this is proof that Im new to message boards/forums-Ive seen "DH" many times and for the life of me I cant figure out what it stands for (seems to refer to a significant other or traveling companion)? Please, educate me! Thanks and have a great day!

Dear Husband. I've also seen it for other family members, too.

dear (or insert other, more appropriate, adjective beginning with D here) husband. You may also dd (dear daughter), dw (dear wife), ds (dear son), etc. when people travel with their families. :)

Or "Dumb Husband" if he doesn't want to go where you want to go.

LOL Faina, you behave yourself!!!

LOL!

I've been meaning to ask this too! Why not just say "H" for husband??? Or "W" for wife???

How about 1st H or 1st W? FS = favorite son? UN = ugly nephew? PIASILWDMHOB: pain in the apse sister-in-law who doesn't mind her own business?

BigJim, no reason i know of, it's just one of those internet lingo things that has become accepted, like BTW or LOL.

Hahaha!! I thought these acronyms were only used on those "women" forums like weddingchannel.com, theknot.com, etc., but I see they've been brought over to this forum as well.

Um...BigJim....how is it that you know these websites? roflol!!

Maybe BigJim is a female person!

One of my favs-PITA- Pain in the ... I seem to use it frequently at work

Maybe Jim just dresses like a woman--not that there is anything wrong with that ;)

LoveItaly, this would be the last thing on my mind ;) \:D/

Nobody wants to ask what LOL means, huh? ;;)

To me it means double-header in baseball parlance.

Double header, SAnParis? I've always thought designated hitter.

Faina, Have you been talking to my wife?

BeachBum, not yet, but I'm going to share with her what I've been drinking, so you better get into "getting invisible" training, LOL.

"DH" means "I like to write in code; whip out your Little Orphan Annie Decoder Ring." This, "LOL" and such are the internet equivalent of a cliche--that which is to be avoided in writing.
