What Do Some Abbreviations Mean?

Please define DH and "Sticky"?

Dear Husband.No, I'm not writing you a letter, that's what it stands for.A "sticky" is a thread that is pinned to the top of a forum so it doesn't slide down the page and get lost like other threads.

DH is usually Dear Hubby DS - Dear Son Although I think D can be exchanged for Darn sometimes LOL!

A sticky is sort of like a frequently asked questions /popular post that seems to stay at the top of the screen - Although I don' t know the technical definition

You can also read The Acronym Thread.

See? This is why the acronym thread needs to be a "sticky" :0)

Thanks everyone! Feel free to add any you don't know and see if you get your answer. I had always thought DH was dumb husband and I had always thought it was mean and that you were all so nice. So, I thought I should ask to see what it meant.

For some women, including one I used to know, the terms are redundant.It's okay - she speaks highly of me, too.

That one took me a minute or two, too.(Ann, I'm proud of you for not going taking the it's-a-big-hard-test-that-kids-take-to-get-into-college route.)

I almost did, and then decided not to push it.

And it's not hard. I took it in 8th grade and scored 1100 on it! When I took it in HS, I got 1410 (90 less than I wanted).

Smarty-Pants. Actually, I did really well, too. I have a cousin who's just a couple of weeks younger than I. There was always a big rivalry between our moms, based on how well we did at things. She was valedictorian of her class, straight A's, etc. She studied all the time and took a special SAT class. I was a really good student (top 10%), but I was involved in lots of extra-curricular activities (stage, music, etc.). I simply showed up the day of the test. My mom was beside herself with glee when my SAT score blew hers out of the water. BTW, today I'm a college graduate and a successful business owner (hee, hee), with a wonderful family. My cousin never finished college and never moved out. Pretty sure I won that one, too.

Just goes to show you that some people are just cut out for success.

I always thought that DH was darling husband

 

[chefann]

Darling, dear, darn, damn, doofus.... whatever fits him that day.

 

[chefjwr]

Ha! Ha! Ha!

I thought it was called SAT because it's the abbreviation of the day it's administered.

I never found out what I scored on it. I don't really want to know.
