oamc: once a month cooking

tnt: tried and true (please note the difference between tnt &
t-n-t)

t-n-t: tips-n-tricks

Ok, I’m sure this is a silly question, but what does “DH” stand for? I know it refers to your husband but I can’t figure out what it stands for. Am I just completely computer illiterate?

[JoAnn]

Hi rtebalt
My understanding of (DH) is Dear Husband….Thats what I have used on other forums. And when I yahoo.

[mdowdy]

I had a friend who used to call her hubby DA before they split up lol funny thing is he never figured out what it stood for

[Janice Terrell]

My ex-husbands first two initials were da. everyone called him da. it was just too funny.

he never knew what they were rederring to.

[MJC1976]

Thanks that cleared up some questions.

don’t feel bad, i didn’t understand either.. i kept guessing.. then i read farther down and it made sense.

lol!!!

[lynsue]

Thank you so much for this information cause I would have been lost…..

[Conelyn]

Okay. Found this page and I was like “Oh. So there are these kinds of abbreviation, eh?”

Thanks dear forumers. I’ll try to call my hubby as “DH” when he arrives. Let’s see if he knows.

haha

One of my favorite couponing abbreviations is YMMV. I’ve heard it stands for “Your Mileage May Vary” – loose translation: “This worked for me in my store but you may not be so lucky!”

[bleedingace]

oh now i understand! my kids know more of this kind of stuff than i do. 🙁

[magpaine]

I was just browsing the grocery guide, can anyone tell me what “must use AC” means?

It means that you must use it “after coupon”. Sometimes you can “stack” coupons, but you have to use them in the right order to get the full benefit of the stack.

[krumpermonster]

Wow. This was so incredibly helpful! I have seen people write DH so many times and had no clue what they were referring to!

[happy0349]

Now that I read what the abbreviations mean…they make sense.
Level writing I might add.

[Kaylicat]

I first saw DH used when reading things by the FlyLady. I can’t recommend her enough – she’s really saved my bacon as far as learning to run my house. She has two books (usually available from the library – look for Marla Cilley) and a free website as well.

[Kduffner]

HD stands for Darling Husband

I have a hard time with the new texting abbreviations, so I guess I’ll be adding more post-its to my monitor. It already looks like a yellow frame of information. But in time im sure i’ll have them memorized.

Thanks for the information.

[dleggs]

Thank you Hope I can remember them lol

[DoodleBug1213]

Wow! Thanks! I picked up a few just now too.

:)) It’s been awhile since I’ve been on a forum before. It’s been about 15 years actually. Crazy the internet has been around that long already.

Well, at any rate, thanks for the tips!! :))

[chuck8293]

O.k. now I am beginning to understand! Are there any other men who use these abbreviations?

[sandramomof5]

[oneeyedkat]

I’m glad I went to see what the abbreviations were cause I find them confusing sometimes. You would think we text messaging, which I’m horrible at, I would have some idea on things, not the case. Thanks for posting them.

[MommaNae]

Thanks! Now I won’t have to call one of my three daughters and ask them what an abbreviation means! Lol!

But they are used to this common occurance.

[Patricia Ballas]

Thanks though my rating is higher than a newbie I have been away due to personal family crisis and this is extremely helpful for me.

[SuitNurse]

Very helpful info for newbies to the site like me. Reminds me of early days in nursing school, having to memorize all the medical jargon & medical abbreviations, but far simpler! LOL!?
