abbreviations

[snl]

I've been reading these boards for years and have been able to figure out most of the abbreviations and there meanings....but when people are referring to their family they put a (d) in front like (dh)what does that mean?

 

I know that I'm going to feel like a complete dumb-dumb:D when I find out.

 

 

What are some of the most abbrev's used and there meanings for people like me that have a hard time deciphering.:)

Easy one... dh (dear husband or darling husband)

[reallyitsmema]

Easy one... dh (dear husband or darling husband)

True but the D can also mean something else if you are mad at your significant other:eek: :p

[snl]

Thank You:) :) I knew it was something simple.

 

I just love reading these boards. I rarely post but I love to read them. I too have become a cruise junkie and can't wait till I meet the beautiful Liberty this December!
