I Need a Crash Couse on Abbreviations

LOL, I was the same way at first.
DH- Dear Husband
DD- Dear daughter
DS- Dear son
SAHM- stay at home mom
LOL-laughing out loud
Have a great day!!

Thanks for asking! I didn't know what they meant so I would just skip over stuff. If we all spoke in abbreviations like we typed, we'd be in big trouble... (remember that cingular commericial? IDK, my BFF Jill? Yikes!)

DH=dear hubby, darling hubby or any other 'd' word you can come up with...depends on the context usually ;-)
DD=dear daughter, etc
SAHM=stay at home mom
JMHO=just my honest/humble opinion
ROFLMAO=rolling on floor, laughing my A$$ off(can replace A with a B for behind/butt)

DH- Dear Husband, DD Dear Daughter, DS- Dear Son. SAHM- Stay at home Mom. It took me a while too. Don't feel bad.

You click on the the help section and go to Netiquette. I asked this question as well when I first started on this site. All the abbreviations are listed.

I'm with you. I know that SAHM= stay at home mom, DD= developmentally disabled but DH I'm not sure.

DH = dear husband, DD = dear daugher, etc. SAHM = Stay at Home Mom. You might also run into DTD = Doing the Deed (i.e. Sex), BD = Baby Dance or trying to concieve, TTC = Trying to concieve, MIL/FIL = Mother in law/father in law. Any others?

There are a lot of websites that use these same abbreviations, so you might see them elsewhere too (Fertilityfriend.com etc.). Good luck!

naaawwwwwww. you're not behind the times:-)
if you haven't ever been in contact with those abbreviations, no reason for you to know what they meant...

someone had to tell the rest of us.. or tell us where to look,, or look for the link eventually so we knew too..lol lol
hope the link helps.. and the replies.
there's always something that pops up here and there that isn't listed some where and i still have to ask..lol like an abbreviation of a name brand clothing or something.. :-\

DD stands for Deadbeat Dad, DH stands for Deadbeat Husband and SAHM stands for Stay At Home Mom.

I'm with you! I'm guessing SAHM = stay at home mom. That is about the only one I've figured out...DH = divorced husband?! Thanks for speaking up!

Good question... lol

The only one I knew was SAHM = Stay At Home Mom
And also SO = Significant Other

SAHM=stay at home mom

DH = Dear Husband; DD = Dear Daughter (thus DS = Dear Son); SAHM = Stay At Home Mom

= )

D'oh... looks like you got a lot of answers here!! Aren't Mom's great?!?

DH: Darling Husband
DD: Darling Daughter
DS: Darling Son
SAHM: Stay at home mom
WAHM: Work at home mom

You can go on to FlyLady.net and see a whole list of acronyms.

Thank you for asking.......I thought I was the only one.

This is all too funny. Are you still confused...I think I am. I read your responses and had to laugh. DH= Dear/Darling/Deadbeat/Divorced...Husband. Maybe it could be dimwit husband after reading one of the posts from today. I guess we are still at the mercy of our own interpretation and the context of the story. I doubt that lady was calling him dear or darling...hee hee. Hope you are able to figure it out...I feel like I am winging it.

I was just reading a couple of requests before yours and was wondering the same thing. I always hope I can eventually figure it out. Will be keeping up with your responses.
Thanks for asking that question-by the way, I believe SAHM is stay at home mom.

I know SAHM is Stay At Home Mom....the rest I do not know!

Does this help clear up some of your confusion? I first saw these abbreviations on FlyLady's website www.flylady.net. A great website that teaches you how to develop routines and make cleaning your home / work place a breeze. I love the encouragement that the members and Marla (aka FlyLady) give to each other. The best part, the site is free. =)

Have a great day!

Hi S.,
Good question. I have figured out that SAHM is (stay at home mom)! As for DD and DH. I do not have a clue. Good luck I will be happy to catch up on this as well.
