What does that mean???!

What does DH stand for??? I'm always reading you ladies talking about your DH's but i don't get it! I even googled it and came up with nowt! While you're at it, any other abbreviations you lovely ladies can enlighten me with?

Thank you very very much!!

I think it refers to dear husband
and dd to dear daughter, ds to dear son

but I could easily be wrong

 

No ihmurria, you're right.

 

KWIM-Know what I mean

TMI-Too much information

And I can't really think of any others at the moment.

 

In that case I'll refer to mine as BH - my Bloody Husband!

 

From the male side
SWMBO = wife

and imho means in my humble opinion

 

Ugh..something about DH and DD and DS just bothers the hell out of me. I mean, if they're so god damn "dear" to you, why not take the time to spell it out?

 

SO also?

 

significant other

 

Haha yea, it sounds silly to me as well.

 

I used to frequent a pregnancy and baby message board where that's all they ever referred to their families as...DH, DS, DD...I was always the odd one out because I didn't like abbreviating like that when referring to my family.

 

I don't like it much either, seems too impersonal...

 

Exactly!

 

It's just a shorthand I guess, and saves having to explain who everyone is if you use just their names. Also a bit of anonimity to for them, if you wanted that.

Don't use them myself, but then nobody in my life fits the bill. No aversion to the terms though.
