AIBU to think I'm the only one on this site who thought a DS was a games console?

What the hell is a DC, a DS, a DH and a DD?

Where I come from (admittedly out in the sticks) DC comes after Washington, a DS is a games console, the DH is what we call our local Hotel for short and a DD is something that comes off your bank account every month to pay your bills!

Can someone please enlighten this country bumpkin?

You know after a while you will start to think and have to stop yourself from calling your kids DC or your hubby DH.

I honestly have to stop myself when texting.

larks35 · 13/08/2009 23:07

skybright · 13/08/2009 23:07

I always thought TIA was a MNer who changed her nickname an awful lot, but signed her name atthe end of her posts so people knew it was her. Turns out it means Thanks In Advance

QuintessentialShadows · 13/08/2009 23:16

I really REALLY dont think babydancing is a mumsnet acronym. Netmums, yes, you floozy...

And if it IS a mumsnet acronym as shall not only eat my proverbial hat (or virtual Nike Cap) but lodge an official complaint to the Powers that Be.

EyeballsintheSky · 13/08/2009 23:19

What are you insinuating??? . I have never visited Netmums. Humph. How very dare you!
