Scarlett Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 being referred to as Dh. He thinks it looks too much like 'Duh'! Anyone else ever had the same thought? LOL. Funny guy. Tell him dh is firmly entrenched in the on-line world. No changing it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 LOL. Funny guy. Tell him dh is firmly entrenched in the on-line world. No changing it now. You're so much nicer than I am. My sarcastic wit got the better of me.....I told him there was a reason for the resemblance. I couldn't resist. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipsey Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 being referred to as Dh. He thinks it looks too much like 'Duh'! Anyone else ever had the same thought? Not me. I did have a friend whose husband insisted they quit their individual dodomail e-mail accounts because he thought it was offensive to his intellect. He chose a Christian-sounding provider instead.

Hwin Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've been online for 10+ years now and never called my husband "dh." I don't use too many abbreviations, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 That's funny. I've never had that thought, though. Maybe because when I see "dh" I think "dee-aytch" not duh. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Wolf needed it clarified when he first saw it. 'Dear Husband' was *not* what he thought it stood for :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 LOL---I just replied on our local FB swap board about something I am selling, and referred to my husband as dh. I looked at it and realized that lots of people would have no clue what that meant. I have almost done that many times even in emails. Fortunately I've always caught it....I think.

dangermom Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It's not an abbreviation that I like anyway, but I'd never read it as duh! Now I will, though. :D So, tell your husband thanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Yell Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Wolf needed it clarified when he first saw it. 'Dear Husband' was *not* what he thought it stood for :lol: :lol: I don't know if DH has an opinion. I absolutely despise Hubby, Hubs, and Hubster. I just use DH/DD/etc. because they seem pretty standard on 'anonymous" forums... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2samlibby Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 LOL---I just replied on our local FB swap board about something I am selling, and referred to my husband as dh. I looked at it and realized that lots of people would have no clue what that meant. Why wouldn't they know what it means? It's pretty standard for any type of communication -- email, message board, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I would tell him that dh is better than xh. And d stands for dear, so it is a nice endearing reference. So there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Honestly, the first time I saw it (a long time ago by now) I thought it meant Dear Heart :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbeym Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 You're so much nicer than I am. My sarcastic wit got the better of me.....I told him there was a reason for the resemblance. I couldn't resist. :lol: That was my first thought when I read the OP too. :D I don't think my dh cares, as long as I'm being nice in how I refer to him.

fraidycat Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 You're so much nicer than I am. My sarcastic wit got the better of me.....I told him there was a reason for the resemblance. I couldn't resist. :lol: I like you. :D Mine is fully aware of the fact that most days the D stands for Dear, but some it can stand for D@mn, and on a very off day it stands for D(*%head.

mom2scouts Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Tell him it could be much worse. I'm a Josh Groban fan and his fans call their husbands "HOGS". It stands for "husband of Grobanite".:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisbeth Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Read the Babycenter DWIL and FOO board sometime. They refer to dhs who do things like put mommy before wife as Duhs. They speak of DuHs learning to be DHs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 No, I never thought of it as "duh," but I just don't like DH in general. Or DS or DD or DSD or DSS... You get the idea. For some reason, MIL, FIL, SIL, and BIL don't bother me. Huh. I wonder why? I think it's the gratuitous "dear" that's part of DH. I say both words in my head, and it's annoying. Anyway.... (strange head, I know). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kb44 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 When my dh first saw the abbreviation he assumed it meant dumb husband.:lol: Mine too! Most of my friends know what dh stands for, since they are on boards, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 I like you. :D Mine is fully aware of the fact that most days the D stands for Dear, but some it can stand for D@mn, and on a very off day it stands for D(*%head. You are giving me ideas for my next bad day! Read the Babycenter DWIL and FOO board sometime. They refer to dhs who do things like put mommy before wife as Duhs. They speak of DuHs learning to be DHs etc. Oddly enough I can see where they are coming form. It always creeps me out when Jim Duggar calls his wife Mama. I haven't heard him say it in a while, so maybe he has attained Dh status. :lol: Tell him it could be much worse. I'm a Josh Groban fan and his fans call their husbands "HOGS". It stands for "husband of Grobanite".:lol: What interesting world we have online! I just can't get over the HOGS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melmichigan Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 My DH finally asked about it recently. He always assumed it was d@mn husband or d@mn children too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
