Hi All,
I wonder when I read your posts, what "DH" means? Can someone 'splain it me?
This question, along with Miss Wilma's finding our what a "wife beater" is this week, has gotton me to thinking = we should share and compile a farmgirl dictionary of sorts. Or, maybe there is one already and I haven't found it?
I remember early in my ebay career, I kept seeing "oop" in reference to books and movies and I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I finally asked another ebayer and, lo and behold, it stood for Out-of-print.
My hubby says "SOP" a lot, which stands for "standard operating procedure" but many people have no idea what he means.
I say "TMI" a lot - which means "too much information".
Everybody chime in with the terms, slang and shortcuts you use. I'll be so grateful,
Karen

I have simply assumed that DH and DD are Dear Hubby and Dear Daughter...man I hope that I am not wrong...but my favorite is PITA...as in Pain in the A#&!! I have the 2 little ones, so I had to get creative when it comes to explaining to my DH what he is acting like....when he hears PITA he knows he is in for it!

Here is my input-
DH- dear husband
DS or DD- dear son or dear daughter
ROFL- Rolling on the floor laughing
<3 = Love/heart
juu juu- good luck/energy
\_/= Hook 'Em Horns!!!
Those are the only one's I use alot, the rest is foreign to me....
I only know this stuff because I work with younger women who use it all the time.

I have to admit it took me awhile to figure out dh, dd, lol and such. But after a while I figured it out just by the context in which it was used. The rofl I had to ask my daughter. She knows all of that stuff even though she doesn't have a texting phone (cell phones don't work here anyway). Every now and then, somebody uses some abbreviation that I don't get and I just skip it;)
Sherri, that is one looooong list of acronyms. How could anybody ever memorize all of that stuff? I think I'll just stick to typing out most of what I want to say. That way, I (and everybody else) know exactly what I'm saying. LOL! Ha!
