DaveOKC Posted July 13, 2020 #5 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Most times I think they mean: DW = Dear Wife, DH = Dumb Husband. At least thats how it is used at this home. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still better than "Dead" or "Departed" 😉 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseMGM Posted July 13, 2020 #11 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I guess it could be 'demon' wife or husband. My brother is DB, and that's definitely demon brother! 🤡 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SumoCitrus Posted July 14, 2020 Author #12 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thanks for finally clearing it up for me. For some reason I thought the D was for "designated" - no idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe from baseball's "designated hitter"? You may also sometimes see DD, DS, DSil, DBil, etc where the S means either son or sister Edited July 14, 2020 by catl331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because if they actually do play major league baseball this year, the DH will be used in the NL as well as the AL, so it has been in the news. I always read the D as darling, but see dear as an acceptable alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonialinnkeeper Posted July 14, 2020 #15 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Never realized that "d" could mean so many things. Thanks for my chuckle of the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
