i5trucker Posted March 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2013 A lot of people use abbreviations on theses forums, such as TA, pax, DW, DH, etc. My question is what does the "D" stand for in DH or DW? Sorry if this is so obvious, but it is really bugging me that I can't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco Posted March 29, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2013 And TA is either Travel Agent or TransAtlantic (pretty easy to figure out by the context. PAX is passenger(s) Canx is cancelled, OBC is On Board Credit. Any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted March 29, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 29, 2013 The most confusing one (for me) has to be TATL. TATL is another form for TransAtlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i5trucker Posted March 29, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted March 29, 2013 The only one I had in question was the "D", seems like everybody uses the "DH or DW", I'm sure thy don't talk like that in real life. When I feel the need to mention my wife in a post, I will just type out "my wife". Thanks for the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted March 30, 2013 #13 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The only one I had in question was the "D", seems like everybody uses the "DH or DW", I'm sure thy don't talk like that in real life. When I feel the need to mention my wife in a post, I will just type out "my wife". Thanks for the responses. I use "hubby" and "the girl" (even though I've now taken to using "the teen"). What's weird is that somebody was harping on my use of "the girl" in my review of my last cruise, even after I said that's how my hubby and I often refer to her.

Some abbreviations make sense, like OBC for on board credit, or MDR for main dining room, but the DW, DH, DD, DS stuff just makes me laugh.

Greeneyelady Posted March 30, 2013 #15 Share Posted March 30, 2013 It took me awhile to learn but once you start thinking of d ad dear it start making more sense. If you text it really comes in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
