Hiya I'm new here and would love to know what dh, ds, and all the other acronyms mean! (I think it's acronym. Apologies if I'm being thick!)
Please help me!

There is a really useful list, but for some reason they moved it to ? Somewhere ?
D is usually dear, so DH, DP, dear husband, dear partner.
Sorry I realise that's not very helpful

You are not being thick
DH - is dearest husband
DS - dearest Son
DD- dearest Daughter
DSD - dearest step daughter
DSS - dearest step son
MIL - mother in law
SIL sister in law
BIL - brother in law

There has been a couple of threads about how people hate posters (OP is Original Post. PP is previous poster) using xxxx (kisses) on here, ignore them if they come along to make you feel unwelcome, you post how you see fit, they are in the minority.

What is CF? Have seen on a few threads but acronym list is saying Cystic Fibrosis which doesn’t fit

Cheeky Fucker

Not just 'dear', also dratted, dogbreath, dastardly, dickbrained etc

OverByYer · 05/11/2019 18:42

Thanks @Sparklingbrook, makes sense now

Links above, OP.

There are a fair few.

What device are you using? We are running a feature on certain platforms that shows the meaning of the acronym next to where it has been posted. Doesn't sound like you have access to this though, so worth us passing onto the team for feedback!
