Baseball Lover Posted June 29, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I am confused by some of the abbreviations that are used on the forums. What is OP? What is DH? I think there are others, but I can't remember. I'm sure that knowing this will certainly enhance my Cruise Critic Forum experience... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedC Posted June 29, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2006 DH - Dear husband (or dastardly husband, depending on the circumstances or the husband). OP - Original poster. These are my translaations, I hope they help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted June 29, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2006 OP is original poster - the one starting the post. DH is dear husband, or d**n husband, if you're having a bad day. :D Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted June 29, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2006 BTW - by the way DD - dear daughter SIL - son-in-law IMO - in my opinion Once you know a few of the basics, you can figure the other ones out. These are used on all message boards. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannynurse Posted June 29, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2006 How about IIRC? the best I can interpret is "If I Remember Correctly". Please let me know if I'm on the right track. GN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May4 Posted June 29, 2006 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2006 :D I meant to say, "Welcome to the boards." Thanks for asking the question. That's how we all find out what we want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyk47 Posted June 29, 2006 #12 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Certainly can't skip DW (dear or darling wife). Be careful with SIL, can also mean sister-in-law as in BIL which is brother-in-law. :) Sometimes context changes the meaning slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiseoften Posted June 30, 2006 #24 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Phooey/Fooey!!!!!!! STM it's easier to type what you want to say instead of searching for all the 'abbreviations' - some are logical - others - well, what can I say! We all need to be mindreaders these days! :eek: :rolleyes: This may be a duplicate post - screen went blank and then 'reply' box reappeared so I posted again...........:p Maybe we should add "dp" to 'the list' :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
