I never thought of D standing for Dang or Darn - I love it! Gives DH a whole new meaning!

DD = dear daughter; DH = dear husband; DS = dear son, etc.

I had this question a week or two ago (in my head) and did a search for abbreviations and saw a post recommending acronyms too. That was also helpful.

If you see a little light bulb blinking over my head it is from me just figuring another one out.

Sometimes when I figure out the one that makes sense they aren't the meaning I originally thought it was.

Welcome to posting on the board!
You'll get the hang of all the abbreviations soon. Sometimes we just make stuff up as we go. Just jump on in.
