Definitions of terms on BYC

[Lady Catrina]

Yes, yes, I know, but really - this is a random rambling

My hubby and I have been discussing what some of the terms on this site mean, and I think I have most of them figured out (roo, etc.) HOWEVER there is discord in my home as to what the 'DH' and 'DW' stand for.

I say it's 'Dear Hubby' or Dearest Hubby' and "(ditto) Wife".

He says it means one of several different things:

Dufus Husband

Dumdum Hubby

Dodo Head

and so on......

I am sure that with time he will come up with some more suggestions, however the main question is:

What DO they stand for?

You're right, but I like you're husband's suggestions better.

I think there is a thread on here somewhere with EVERYTHING....

D: darn, dumb, dang, deranged , delicious, devilish, dear
H: husband, heifer ...
W: wife, wifey, witch...
now make up your own combo
