Sea Hound Posted March 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2007 OK - I've been surfing CC ever since we decided to do a cruise this year. Now for the stupid newbie question: What in the heck is DW and DH??????? I can guess the "wife" and "husband" part but what is the "D" for? I have some ideas but . . . . . . . . Thanks for the clarification! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vowsatsea Posted March 15, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I was wondering that, too. My guess was that it meant "Darling Wife" and "Darling Husband" but I could be wrong.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyGirl55 Posted March 15, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2007 You are both correct! Here are a few more you may see: dil,sil,mil,fil: daughter-in-law, (son) (mother) (father) imo or imho: im my opinion or in my humble opinion btw: by the way dd, ds: darling daughter (son) pax: passengers Some of the cruise lines uses abbreviates for their ships as well. Just do like I did when I first started cruising these boards...ask, ask, ask! I have found some of the best people on these boards! Happy Cruising!

cusyl Posted March 15, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Could also mean D*mn husband or wife depending on your mood. LOL:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odblnt Posted March 15, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Actually, for wife I sort of prefer the abbreviation used in the woodworking newsgroups on the usenet. They use SWMBO (she who must be obeyed). ;) My wife reminds me from time to time about Jeff Foxworthy's famous quote concerning rule #1 of marriage... "If she ain't happy, you ain't happy."
