DTD aka BD aka SEX

DTD
BD

STOP IT

It is sex. Having sex. Screwing, fucking, shagging, making lurve. Sex has three letters, one more than BD, and the same as DTD. Although you have to stick your finher on the shift key for DTD and BD making them more labour intensive than writing sex.

Please, please stop it. If you are old enough to have sex, you are old enough to type the word on an anonymous internet forum. I appreciate that TTCers have their own language which is fine but on the main boards, it offends me, and hurts my eyes. Please stop.

Does not compute

No idea what those abbreviations mean. Know what sex is though.

BD = Baby dancing?

DTD = Doing The Dirty?

Oh have some babydust and stop being so grumpy

Agreed. It takes me a while to figure things out as it is without people using abbreviations for very short words as well!

Doing The Deed FYI.

oh my word do adults really use such terms?

in which case yanbu.

Are these people the Stepford wives? Sounds very odd for a grown up to be using such phrases.

No, there are people who type this in their MN posts in all seriousness, outside of conception. Mind boggles.

I assumed it was to avoid getting flagged up on firewalls/internet security stuff at work.

I know DTD although I wouldn't type it, (other than is this instance before someone points out I have). Is BD baby dancing as OldLadyKnowsNothing has put?

so glad you excused those of us who are trying to TTC, OP :)

I thought DTD was "Dear Twin Daughters".

HATE the term baby dancing.

Baby dancing makes me vomit. Worse still is when it is used in books about TTC. Yes, actual publications.

I thought BD was bed dancing, which is ok ish but baby dancing is gross.

Oh my lord! Someone out there actually calls it Baby Dancing? That just conjures up images of the Evian advert!! The only acceptable sexual abbreviations are S&M and BDSM

Hairy - :) I mean on the conception board I believe you have your own 'dialect' which may or may not include DTD/BD but since I don't go on your board I have no right to an opinion on it! I really object to those terms creeping into MN general parlance however.

Totally Eric

I really meant that I'm genuinely glad you did excuse us - having had various issues, I now find myself having sex instead of SWI (Sex with Intent) as I'm having a break from TTC. so you are right - for us there is a difference.

I also agree with you in that all the 'fluffy' names for having sex are a bit silly :)

(woops - have I now brought the dialect over here?)

@ DTD, I too guessed Dear twin daughters.

BD is ewww. Evian ad is apt.

Asteria

Yeah I also clicked on this thread expecting sex with twins to feature prominently.

I feel cheated

But my mum always told me if I say the S word I will go blind

I give in. What does BDSM stand for?!

I've never seen these weird acronyms thank god

Bogey

bondage - domination - sado-masochism

Well theres a thing! Thank you for extending my knowledge of all things grubby :o
