What does DH stand for?

[sworksjr]

I see a lot of posts referencing DH. I figured out that it refers to your cabin mate, but I can not figure out what it stands for. Deck hand comes to mind, but I don't think my wife would appreciate being called my deck hand. What does DH stand for? (Stupid question from CC newbie :))

[stealthy]

Darling Husband

[hulagirl57]

Dear Husband

Dear; darling; dumb; doting; ditzy; (insert favorite "d" word here) husband.

Dumb husband

[sworksjr]

I haven't seen any DW posts. Maybe I just haven't read enough. Also the DH sometimes seems like it might be a little sarcastic.

As in many languages, the meaning of words varies with context and tone of voice: anywhere from "darling husband" to "dumb hump".

If this is all new to the OP certainly googling 'message board acronyms' would also find a wealth of information.

Thanks! But what does OP mean... that's not on the list.

 

Also somebody called me PAX recently, I assume it's something like passenger? Any ideas? :')

Someone once posted on CC (Cruise Critic) wanting to know who this DH person was who seemed to cruise with lots of different women. :D

[Eleteace]

The "D" stands for whatever adjective you want...darling, dear, doofus, dustmite, difficult, dottering, delicious, whatever!

 

 

If you're posting, just write out what you mean..so much easier!

It's just husband. :)

I don't think anyone usually means it in a derogatory way.

It's Bill W something. And he's on a lot of my cruises and seems to always have quite a lot of friends along with him.

I've been on many forums wondering this same question. I've looked it up before and forgot. I just figured it was my spouse some how. Good to know though, if I can remember!

Gets Confusing with TA. Depends on context. Travel Agent or Trans-Atlantic.

Usually, Travel Agent uses capital letters: TA

whereas transatlantic uses lower case letters: ta

I never noticed that. I use caps for TransAtlantic (when I use initials - I don't always). Guess I've been confusing some people.

Imagine the confusion if they did TA charters for TAs. TATAs would have a whole new meaning.

To the OP

 

DH For me

 

 

Dear Husband

 

Because when I ask him to get something right in front of his face and he cannot find it......................

 

DUH, would be more appropriate.

 

Duh!

 

But only offered 2 letters so I shortend it to DH
