I'm Confused

[MLE]

Ok Ladies, I am a recently new friend on CafeMom.  I would love to know what all of the acronyms I see on here.  It would really help me out in understanding what I am reading.  Example dh, uh what does that mean?

Thanks everyone who is willing to help a confused mom, LOL.

dh usually means dear husband, or in many cases, dumb husband :)

[bookloverbon]

dh stands for dear hubby or darling hubby and sometimes just plain ole dumb hubby.

Thank, there are so many more that I have seen.  Anyone have any other ones that they could help me with?
