I feel like such a dummy, 'cos I don't know what half the abbreviations that I see in people's posts mean. Is LOL Loads of Laughs, Lots of Laughs, or what? And is DH Dear Husband, Darn Husband, Dopey Ham, WHAT! It's driving me nuts. Is there a list of these terms somewhere?

Hi June,

LOL is often thought to be Laughing out loud, lots of laughs, etc.

DH is meant to be Dear Husband, but open to a fill in the blank, if you
know what I mean, LOL. (Pardon the pun)

Here is a good site to visit for a brief rundown:

Pardon the site, there are a few rank terms.

Great topic, June. Thanks for the link. It show BTW as "by the way" and I always thought it was "back to work". I guess it can be used both ways.
