Tim Cruise Posted April 1, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I see people say like. "My DH and I did this" or "I'm cruising with my DH" What does it stand for? Dumb husband? Desperate housewife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted April 15, 2007 #8 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Thank God I'm not the only one who didn't know!! I just guessed it meant Dear Husband or Hubby, but did wonder if even that was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaparzo Posted June 18, 2010 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2010 do any of you (wives) use DH when referring to their husbands? (phew! that was too much to type...all 8 letters. I have carpal tunnel now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXDZ Posted June 18, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The "D" can have multiple meetings, depending on your mood & the context! (Dear, Darling, Dumb, Ditzy....). For a long time, I was amazed that so many of my online friends had husbands with the same initials/nickname, so don't feel bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatYourBoatSince2003 Posted June 18, 2010 #11 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The "D" can have multiple meetings, depending on your mood & the context! (Dear, Darling, Dumb, Ditzy That's it!

Reimer Posted June 20, 2010 #13 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Haha good to clear that up I knew the H and W stood for husband and wife considering the context but couldn't figure out teh D. I thought it stood for Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srlafleur Posted June 23, 2010 #15 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Don't forget DS, DD, SIL, DIL: Dear Son, Dear Daughter, Son-in-law, Daughter-in-law. SIL could also be sister-in-law. and the list goes on...BIL, MIL, FIL. Hmmm, funny, I don't recall seeing mother or father shortened, but for them we have Mom and Dad, which are short already. Personally, I alternate between using DH and hubby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrufsmom Posted June 23, 2010 #16 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm sorry but you all left the door wide open on this one. Depending on my mood and time of day I usually can refer to my hubby as a "DH". Although in most cases it refers to him as simply "D*$k head"! LOL Of course, I am the only one who basically reads it that way. I luv my man don't get me wrong, but sometimes it just frankly fits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inahaze Posted June 23, 2010 #17 Share Posted June 23, 2010 do any of you (wives) use DH when referring to their husbands? (phew! that was too much to type...all 8 letters. I have carpal tunnel now) AGREED! I don't understand how typing two letters is THAT much of a shortcut when referring to your spouse (unless you don't know how to type and use the "hunt and peck" method of typing). I will be sailing with my husband and two beautiful little boys. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alansfreed Posted June 28, 2010 #19 Share Posted June 28, 2010 AGREED! I don't understand how typing two letters is THAT much of a shortcut when referring to your spouse The overuse of acronyms is one of the things that drives me bonkers about this site. Could it take THAT much effort to type stuff out? Sometimes I need a translator just to understand some of the posts :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
