Please forgive my "noob" status

I have been on several cruises and am about to go on another, but I am new to these forums and have what most will probably consider a stupid question, but if you don't ask, you'll never know. What do "DH", "DW", and "DS" stand for? :confused:

[serene56]

Dear Wife Dear Brother Dear Son Sear Daughter among other things

[Upandadam]

Dear Husband, Dear Wife, Dear Son...etc

[oceanxbreeze89]

Dear Husband, Dear Wife, and Dear Son....DD is Dear Daughter, DBF is Dear Boy Friend...etc. I hope this helps!

DH = Designated Hitter ... no, wait, Dear Husband

DW = Dear Wife

DS = Dear Son

DD = Dear Daughter

I know the "head" and the "wad" ones. "DS" not so much. ;-)

Lol = Laugh out Loud. Thanks for the info. We're less than a month away from Eastern Carib. on the Freedom. Key West, Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios. Good times!

Not quite sure why we can't just say husband or daughter, lol.. chat speak is always stange to me though but maybe that's because I type as fast as I write *shrugs*

Wonder what happened to DFW,(dear first wife) D could stand for dead or departed. LOL or divorced.:p

Here is a thread that describes the acronyms:

[LOBOGORDO]

Is it ok to refer to your current DW as your DFW---maybe even prudent?

I shrug with you, Immortal.:D

Acronyms were developed for those who can't type fast (as in hunt'n'peck) and for those that can't spell. :rolleyes:

Be happy you're in the minority.:) ROFLMAOPIMP

[kcroxyoursox]

Yeah, but no one knows how to spell anymore either. And then there's the grammar issue.

 

Best to keep the abbreviations. Because if an adult on these boards doesn't know the difference between your and you're, I'd rather see the tongue-in-cheek "ur."

 

(And don't even get me started on the phrase "should of." I could make a full time job out of correcting people on this one!)
