CruisnMom007 Posted July 20, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2004 this may be a really dumb question to most of you, but could someone tell me what some of the abreviations stand for on these cruise message boards? ie: DH ?? and others? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phinfan63 Posted July 20, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2004 From what I gather, DH is Darling Husband or Dear Husband, same for DW - Darling Wife, DS - Son, DD - Daughter, etc.... OP - original poster can't think of any others right off but hope this helps some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton Posted July 20, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Pax - passengers OP - original poster PDC - post cruise depression Chank - Chankanaab Park PdC - Playa del Carmen CD - cruise director BF - boyfriend/best friend ATC - addicted to cruising BTW - by the way A few other helpful things: The vessel you are on is a cruise ship - not a boat. Where you sleep is a cabin - not a room. A cabin steward is not to be called a "cabin boy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunkie103 Posted July 20, 2004 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I read one post where DH was to mean Dumb Husband per the OP. Also other adjectives beginning with "D" such as darn, damned, dopey, etc. Of course the same goes for DW. How about "front of the ship" instead of bow "Back of the ship" instead of stern or aft and on and on it goes. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnBobbi Posted July 20, 2004 #11 Share Posted July 20, 2004 The word "posh" comes from the nautical "Port Out, Starboard Home". Just thought I'd mention that. I thought DH was Designated Hitter? No? BnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrounds Posted July 20, 2004 #13 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Its DECK, never FLOOR. HEAD, never bathroom. In the event of a tragedy its SOULS. not persons or victims. My favorite, PREROGATIVE, not purrogative or perogative, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. (sorry, my pet peeve) :D MOB, Man OverBoard, never to be screamed in jest as any crew member that hears this must instantly throw life rings, notify bridge of the event, which will immediately institute MOB procedure causing strong listing, broken dishes and glasses, pax falling down, etc. (not a pleasant sight). The poor SOUL in the water takes precedence over everything else. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
