I HAVE to ask!!

[HopelessMagic]

I see it everywhere. "My DH", "My DD5", "My DD10"... what IS this lingo? What in the world does it mean? Someone please fill me in because when people post this stuff, I really have no clue who they are talking about. I just figure they're talking about someone they know and leave it at that. Please help me out of the stone age.

Dear Husband, Dear Daughter, Dear Son.

I think the number is the age

Hope this helps

-Magical

Disney Husband, Disney Daughter, Disney Son.

I've heard the same terminology used on a different site that had nothing to do with Disney. They said the D stands for "Dear"

 

[HopelessMagic]

aha! LOL Now that you say it, it seems so obvious. Thanks for filling me in. I'm one step closer to my chatspeak certificate.

That's what I always thought, but it could be Dear also.

Dear Daughter age 5, Dear Husband etc.
Not disney.

I thought the numbers, such as "DD5" meant how many kids they have...Like...DD1; first daughter. DD2...second daughter, and so on? Or have I been reading this wrong my entire life on Dis?

It's a standard abbreviation for dear or darling, depending on your style of lingo. Being on a Disney board is the only time someone might take it for disney. I suppose someone might be referring to their order of children occasionally by DD1 or DD2, but I think it's more common that the numbers are the age. I believe I've read it in the order context on occasion though.

Now if you're MAD at someone, you might interpret the D somewhat differently, silently , such as DMIL. A common friendly Disney character might fit in that place.

Acronyms are great, but having a dictionary to them is greater! Thanks Deba, put it in my favorites (so I can decipher what the ds13 is IM to his DGF.)

yeah I was about to say, sometimes the first 'D' isn't always a positive sentiment. (usually in regards to the 'DH'...wonder why? )
