Army wife had a very good point and Jilly drove it home.
If you want to add an acronym to the list, just add it to the bottom, cut and paste, so the last post of the thread will be the complete dictionary at the moment.

Good Call, Liquidfeet! It's sometimes confusing when people toss out acronyms and you don't know what they mean.

The dictionary has all you need, and then some!

DH: Dear Husband
DW: Dear Wife
DD: Dear Daughter
DS: Dear Son

I added this because it is not as obvious to some people. (me) When I first started reading Ski Diva posts I thought DH meant DownHill. (Why wouldn't I? :noidea: ) It made for some interesting reads! :laugh:

Glad to know about DH, DW, DD, DS. I always wondered about that. Here's one more I see sometimes:

OP ...original post = the first post of a thread

So now we have....

The first thing my mind would go to was down hill, but context always made me realize it was about their husband in some way, shape or form so I'd imagine various D words to go before husband. Da Husband, for example. With DD and DS cropping up I just figured I'd let my mind rest at dear.

Might just be me, but I always thought of the OP as original poster, the one who started the thread asking the question or whatever.

Thank god I finally know what DH means.

I (too) knew it had something to do with husband but couldn't think of what the D meant. This post has got to stay. I need this acronym dictionary BAD. :doh: Can we have a skiing related and a forum related dictionary?

That's a really good idea, ski chick! :thumbsup: I love the idea of a skiing dictionary. In fact, I'm going to start a thread about that.

Thanks for the suggestion!
