adk0425 Posted February 25, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Okay, I've been on this board for 2-3 years now and always see people post "DH" travel with, or my DH this or that. What does DH stand for...for the life of me I cannot figure it out, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redlac Posted February 25, 2010 #12 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I think it's nonsense. I agree... if folks don't have time to type out full words, then perhaps they could wait, and reply when they DO have time. Those witty abbreviations are merely confusion for folks here to sincerely ask a question. Perhaps a forum could be started, for folks who love to abbreviate? *chuckle* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redlac Posted February 26, 2010 #18 Share Posted February 26, 2010 How about this: DH Deaf Hubby Dear Hubby Dear Husband Dick Head Dumb Hubby :eek: :D So, when a woman spends time with her DH... it could be her Dear Husband... or her Dick Head? Oh my, rather unfortunate if he mis-translates her words. Another reason to use plain english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of the abbreviations (I actually got a business email this week with abbreviations like this...), but there have been times when perhaps I would like my DH to mis-translate.....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually she concentrates on the last two, and only uses the highlighted two when she wants something. :cool: On occasion she will use the first letter of the alphabet in front of H :eek: I concentrate on the honor of being addressed as the first one.

Jimnbigd Posted February 26, 2010 #23 Share Posted February 26, 2010 How about the guy who texted a girl he really liked named Emmy. He texted: MEURABUT If you say the letters, it says, "Emmy, you are a beauty." Unfortunately for him, she read it as, "Emmy, you are a butt." His injuries from her were not life threatening -- He gets out the hospital next Tuesday.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
