vyness Posted January 30, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi, I've been surfing these message boards and have seen "DH" written a lot, in context to the poster's husband? So what exactly does it stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff_Kathy Posted February 18, 2005 #10 Share Posted February 18, 2005 After spending a good many years in the Navy, where tradition and necessity have created a unique language, it was easy to understand the need for internet jargon. A wordy writer takes too long to get the point across in chat rooms and messages. The initialisms evolved when messages included text only, before the handy little smilies came along. :rolleyes: PPL KISS <G> = People keep it simple, silly (or stupid) "Grin" There's a fairly brief, but useful list of common terms at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_slang.

sailor05 Posted February 19, 2005 #11 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I thought it meant "Dumb Husband" or "Dumb Wife":D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyCruiser Posted February 22, 2005 #12 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Sailor05, I thought of the exactly same thing. So what else does DS stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_Kathy Posted February 22, 2005 #13 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I was under the impression the "D" was for "Damn", except in the presence of the individual, when it became "Dear". Could use Dratted, Dumb, Dastardly, Delicious, Devine, Dagnabbed, Dizzy, or about any other D-word, I guess. What are the choices? DH - Husband DW - Wife DD - Daughter DS - Son DMIL/DFIL - In-laws DGM/DGF - Grandparents DGD/DGS - Grandkids DT - Delirium Tremens DA - Duck's Ass DWD - Diddy-Wah-Diddy The list goes on...

mechcc Posted February 25, 2005 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Happy Cruiser, You need to read the TP thread you will find a lot of ROFLOL (rolling on the floor laughing out loud) and many others. See a new one just ask we can all learn. hcc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbntraveler Posted February 27, 2005 #15 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I've been wondering what TP stands for...:confused: According to the Internet Slang site in J's posting above, here is the definition. Which I am sure is not what's being referred to here on this board. TP — "Town Portal", in Diablo and Diablo II, a magical scroll for getting back into town i.e. safety. Pronounced "teepee", and may occur as a verb ("hey, TP me!") I think this refers to an AD&D Role playing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyitsrick Posted March 1, 2005 #16 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Well, it could always be "toilet paper"...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwzchic Posted March 13, 2005 #17 Share Posted March 13, 2005 What's the context in which you've seen TP? Most of the abbrevs are fairly intuitive. Like LMAO, which I was when I realized I wasn't the only one who actually tried to decipher the short acronyms left behind by those older and younger than myself.

richnorto Posted March 15, 2005 #18 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I'm letting the secret out! The TP thread is just that! Check the HAL board - something like "question for recent cruisers"...? FUNNY!:D BTW, it may be a couple pages back by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanDreams Posted April 4, 2005 #24 Share Posted April 4, 2005 To the right of where you are posting is the "smilies". Just click on one of them at the point you wish to add it :D and voila - there it is! Thanks Vic for the help.....but it still isn't working. I can get the "smiles" to work in the "Title" area but not in the message area. My smiles are down at the bottom of the "Reply to Thread" and under that area is the "additional Options. I do not have a check mark in the "Disable smiles in Text" I have tried the click and drag, the copy and paste. Is there something in the "set up" mode that I need to change?
