deadbeat husband, more commonly dear husband, and maybe dumb husband too..

I always thought dear hubby..I would never call my husband a deadbeat..if he is one..what's the point of keeping him?

It's meaning is darling husband or dear husband.

This is funny. I always read it as Dang Husband. I probably always will, since that's the first thing that comes to mind. Now I know people like their husbands more than I thought around here. LOL

I always refer to my dh as my "devoted husband". Any man who puts up with me and 5 daughters is devoted

[gertiie]

sometimes they do things and you think it should stand for dead husband

 

[ChickensAreSweet]

Dear Husband
Dear Daughter = DD
Dear Son = DS
etc.

Thank you for asking!! Being new to BYC I wondered about it too.

I came to the conclusion it must stand for Dear Husband, but other words came to mind: dumb husband, darn husband because it didn't seem realistic that all the female members of BYC had such terrific husbands? But maybe it takes a special type of guy to raise chickens

Perhaps BYC should have a lingo section for newbies that would help us catch on quicker to some of the terms used. I had to look up "pullet" because I didn't know what that was (a chicken less than one year old). I still have so much to learn
