Forum abbreviations were a mystery to me for years. Granted, I'm not much of a umm forum-er. I'm more of a lurker. I find what I need. Then I promptly leave because my personality is just too sarcastic to really transfer to the world at large. I also don't have a cute avatar of a cat wearing sexy lingerie which seems to be the required general forum avatar. The only time I ever tried to leave a comment in a forum, I made about fifteen enemies.
I always see the letters DS, DD, & DH in forums. From context clues I was able to infer that these were somehow family members. (A shout out to my fifth grade teacher for schooling me on context clues.) It confused me how it was possible for everyone to have a DH, DD, & DS. Then I figured out that h=husband d=daughter & s=son. After much reading I learned that the d=darling. Really? I honestly thought it stood for a word that wasn't so nice. I'm surprised that the entire internet seems to have come together & agreed that all of their husbands are darling. I have to admit that I've also never seen a DW for darling wife, which makes me a little sad.
