to ask if the 'd' in my dd

[TeapotsInJune]

stands for 'dear daughter' or 'darling daughter'?

Wonder where it came from? S, D, H and P would make sense wouldn't it?

I thought it stood for Demon :)

Darling

Dear

Divvy

Daft

Douche bag

Take your pick

Dangerous, dodgy, downright damned?

She is a dear - at the moment, but she isn't even a year old yet so I imagine the demon moments will come ;)

It is darling.... There used to be a list of the shortcuts on mumsnet but I can't find it now.

stranded

The list is sill there in acronyms

It's an Americanism, I was reading the 'D' on sites 15 years ago before sites became mainstream in the UK

Damn

Dreadful

Dire

Deranged

Or, occasionally Delightful

Depends how much you like her
Mines definitely a darling!

Dastardly

Dratted

Diva

Dear

Darling

Damned

Delightful

In the words of my own 2 year old DD this morning:

"Not a pickle; I is a darling!"

ah, tanith, bless her :)

Yeah, on the rest of the internet, it's 'darling'. Here? Not so much

People elsewhere think we're saying 'darling' too. In fact, it's something users of certain other forums have sneered at us for.

I don't use ds or dh (used to, but I don't bother now.) It's really not that much of a timesaver. Besides, I'm on here most of the bloody time, how much time do I need to save
