BillOh Posted August 20, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2006 What is a DH? I'm a 20 year vet of the internet and active in online forums forever, but I've not seen it used in this context anywhere else. It appears to mean, spouse, husband, wife, or partner, but I can't come up with a logicial acronym. Dumb Husband? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkster Posted August 20, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2006 For me it's Dear Husband, but for some, it may be your suggestion of Dumb Husband! (I've had one of those too!!):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillOh Posted August 20, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted August 20, 2006 For me it's Dear Husband, but for some, it may be your suggestion of Dumb Husband! (I've had one of those too!!):D I'd thought I'd seen it used in the context where I would expect a husband, or wife, but I could be wrong. I would have thought OH for OTHER HALF.

Fran Harp Posted August 20, 2006 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2006 dear, dumb, damn, and other words fit the "D" quote] As in, when DH sat up every night until 4 a.m. the first week of our recent cruise, marking papers and emailing the grades back home, he was definitely not "dear" husband!!!! :p Fran in Toronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
