[MushusRSXtypeS]

Hello fellow cruisers! oky well imma newbie and I'm kind of lost as to what some of your abbreviations mean i.e DD, CM, etc. ( I don't know the other, but I know there's plenty) Can someone pls clarify? Id really appreciate it! Thanks!

Hey there little sister ... let me help u out a little bit ... there are probably variations on some of these but I will tell you what I know and if I am off I am sure other DISers (DIS boarders) will put their 2 cents in!

CM - Cast Member (employees of DCL - Disney Cruise Line)

DH (sometimes followed by a number) - Dear or Disney Husband (if followed by number, number would indicate age)
DW - Dear or Disney Wife
DS - Dear or Disney Son
DD - Dear or Disney Daughter

Well, if I think of any other ones I will add to this thread!

toodles!

Just for the record, I've heard it said that:

CM is Cast Member for land, and Crew Member for the cruise ships. Just thought I'd add in my 2 cents worth, LOL!!!

I also found this on the tech board: http://www.wdwinfo.com/abbreviations.htm

The list is very helpful but you also have to remember what board you are posting on. The list shows CC as WebmasterCathyCanada (now just CathyCanada), but to those of us who post on the cruise board CC = Castaway Cay.

Ha! Ha! Kelly ...


yup, it means DARN sometimes too ...

 

[MushusRSXtypeS]

hehe thanks a lot to all the ppl who have helped me and my lil dilemma!

 

[midnitemist]

Oh, you just made my day Kelly. I understand where sometimes it can be damn husband. Oh, I was laughing and now the office staff wants to know why.

For at least a full month after I started posting here I thought that IS what DH meant so I have always referred to my husb. as WH (wonderful husb.) because I didn't want people to think I thought ill of him.

P.S. - He IS wonderful!!!!

Unless you live in Utah.

ROFL!

Reminds me of the time when DH, DSis, & DBfriend went to Pleasure Island. DH went to the bar to get us drinks and a young man approached him and asked if all three ladies were with him. DH replied, "Why yes, they are." "D*MN! How do you rate?" DH says, "We're from Utah!" The young mans jaw dropped to the floor, called his buddies over and they bought DH a drink! Then they proceeded to ask questions as to how evenings worked in our home.... DH replied he'd love to answer but he had to keep his stamina up! A fun filled evening had by all!!

I thought the number was the number of the husband.

My DW always gets mad when I introduce her as my "first wife". I don't know why....

 

[kellyb2000]

Now that is TOO funny - I would have never thought of that one!

 

[MindydLeon]

you guys are far too funny and sooo clever!! thanks for the giggles!
