Acronyms

Ivy Ann · 01-13-02, 08:22 PM

Okay - I've been here for awhile now - about a month.

Need to know what DH stands for. I know it refers to your husband - what's the 'D'?

I pretty much figured out most of the other acronyms. It is difficult to keep up when we talk in acronyms - but it's kind of a puzzle to figure out.

I'm glad you started this thread - I haven't figured out LOL & IMHO - help??

DH = Dear Husband...or other things depending on what he's done lately.

LOL = Laughing out loud

IMHO = In my humble opinion.

These are used alot in chat rooms. I don't visit chat rooms, but these acronyms have been around for awhile.

But DH has stumped me!

Dear Husband? I just want it confirmed.

....what is/are DOMS? It seems to be used a lot to describe something that results from heavy weight training. Am I in the ballpark?

I kind of accidentally ran across this forum. Wondered if there are others you guys regularly visit.

Of course, none would be as GOOD as this forum. I know the FIRM has one but I'm not a Firmie. Any others?

Okay, I am stumped. I see the acronym often on the exchange list -- what does SASE mean?
