    Default Please Help the Acronym-Challenged Newbie

    As a relative newcomer here, I've managed to figure out what most of the acronyms mean...but I keep reading references to DHs, DSs, DDs and from their context I'm gathering that people are referring to people in their families, but I'm not sure. Can someone help me out and clue me in?

    Dear Husband, Son, Daughter....respectively At least that's what I've always thought it meant

    WOW! Talk about a comprehensive acronym glossary! Thanks for that! I've got remember where that so I can refer back to it rather than wracking my brains trying to figure out some of those acronyms on my own.

    When I first started out here I printed the page out as I needed to keep looking at it to understand everyone. Now I'm well versed in this forgien language.

    LOL -- do you find that you start using Disney acronyms in real life conversations?? I do it. My husband will just stare at me like I'm from some obscure country where language has yet to develop......

    I've always known that it was "Dear ____" but I like to say in my head "Disney ______."

    I'm officially a lunatic.
