veh nice anyone?

DS and DH are not MN vocab but 'net vocab.

Do try to keep up.

Really Tee? I'm going to show my age now and admit to using internet forums for around 16 years and I've honestly never seen it anywhere else.

Are you local, OP?

It's only annoying when you start using it in RL

I was thinking it would be the cunt, fuck type of MN vocab you would be referring to. You need to toughen up OP .

Ds, dh etc are used on all the parenting forums I have been on. I have seen them used on other forums too.

Oh I love . So much more eloquent than 'it gave me an irrational rage for no good reason, but one that I'm sure you can all relate to', or indeed the more obvious 'I wanted to punch his/her lights out'.

Um. I think that 'shouty' and 'stabby' are different to DH and DS.

And there is some MN vocab that I am not keen on but those are pretty harmless really.

Yes, worra. Really. I have also been on the internet at least that long.

I first saw it on Delphi Forums, oh, 15 years ago?

It's common usage on all relationship/parenting forums.

And may have actually started on Usernet. Not sure.

I hate when people put "much?" or "no?" at the end of a sentence.

For example, "Precious, much?" "A good idea, no?"

Sounds terribly affected to me. I am very glad you started this thread; this has been annoying me for ages.

So don't use them

I've seen DH, DS etc on several boards.

I have never understood why the phrase "junk punch" isn't used more often on MN.

If we are banning words, can we include 'cuntworms' and variations of 'cunt' used in a oh-so-funny-we-are-so-cool manner.

Sorry, to all the cuntworm lot, but it makes me shudder. I even left the FB group cause I couldn't bear it. (Is the group still there?)

Love stabby. Am considering using it in RL.

HTH

DH and DS are all over the place and have been for years - originated in America, no?

I hardly think MN would have coined anything as twee as 'dear husband'.

capitals are for losers

Ahh that'll explain it then

This is the only parenting forum I've ever been on

batshit what the jeff judgeypants STABBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

see the maturity in all it's glory.

It isn't 'dear husband' though. Not really. It's dh and you just add your own value term to it. I suspect for the majority it just reads as 'husband'. Single letter acronyms scan badly on forums and it just makes good sense this way. It's a shared language and part of what makes us a community but you don't have to use it if you don't want to. Just don't hun or lol instead.

I love stabby and massively overuse it on here
