You'll get used to the acronyms! I was used to the generic ones when I came here, and some of the quilt acronyms sent me for a loop for awhile!

To answer your question, with a few of the other more common ones ...

DH = Dear Husband (or could be Darned Hubby, if he's in the dog house that day :))
DW = Dear Wife
DD = Dear Daughter ... and so on for the rest of the family
DIL = Daughter In Law

OBW = One Block Wonder
LQS = Local Quilt Shop
LAQ = Long Arm Quilter
FQ = Fat Quarters
HST = Half Square Triangles

So if you see an acronym ... try to think, what might fit in the context and you may just have it right.
There is a list of acronyms under main topic, under the rules section.
