Confused Cap'n

[cap'njack.]

I've been using the forums for a while and I'm still confused about something.

When writing trip reports etc every refers to their children as (for example) DD.

What does this actually mean??

 

[mmtdevlin]

DD = dear daughter/darling daughter
DS = dear son/darling son

Thank you, it was really starting to bug me

But of course when/if they're annoying you, then you can substitute the 'D' for whatever you fancy at the time lol ! For eg, DH (husband) can be completely something different which heads with 'Head'.

I feel stupid now.... I always thought it meant 'Disney'....

First word rhymes with pick (okay, technically, I know that's 2 words but it works well lol)

I have a Mr EK rather than a DH, and no DS or DD, but I do have two DC's. Dear Cats. Although they are not really, they are monsters and are generally known as 'The Brown One' and 'The Orange One'.

Having worked somewhere where DH/DS were common acronyms I just can't use them!

I do use a lot of others, though, tbh, usually ***??

I only use the term "DD" or "Dniece" here - not on any other forum.
So they mean "Disney Daughter" or "Disney niece" to me.

im with the rest of you and always thought it means disney as ive only ever seen it on here , just thought it was some disney madness that had spread across the board and was happy to join in

 

[kazdudds]

I too have always thought it to mean Disney. In fact I often refer to my daughter as my 'darling disney daughter'!!!! I stil think in my mind it will still mean disney!!

 

[I <3 DLP]

ooohhhnow i get it, i was wonderin myself what it ment but i just assumed it was Disney

 

[karenmoloney]

I thought it meant Disney too. I don't go on any other forum, so didn't know what was used anywhere else. I will still continue to think it means Disney!

 

[Ware Bears]

I always think of it as Disney Daughter too.

Here's the list of abbreviations commonly used on these boards.

LOL wow yeah I always thought it stood for 'Disney' too. I've only seen it on here and just associated it with Disney lol.

I am positive it DOES mean "Disney Son", "Disney Daughter" etc......

I am members of loads of different forums, from football to Dr Who.... and I have never seen anyone say "I took my DD to her first football match recently...." or "my DS was really scared of the daleks...."

I am sorry to disagree with the original poster, but if the "D" stood for "Dear" then we would see it far more often in other forums.

Surely, then our children are "Dear" to us all the time, not just when we talk about them on the DISboards.

In fact, I am going to test this theory.... I am going to post responses on my other forums using DS and DD and see what response I get......

Will keep you all informed.

LOL ah sounds like a plan! You never know- it could start off a whole online revolution
I do understand it being used on parenting forums though, I've just never been on them as I dont have a child yet lol.
