<p>its really bothering me</p>

<p>i dont know where to put this thread so i just stuck it here haha</p>

2

<p>i think daughter for D,and son for S</p>

3

<p>why abbreviate i don't understand..</p>

4

<p>son is a waay to long word, and daughter is really hard to spell</p>

5

<p>Yep, D and S and stand for daughter and son. The one that I find most strange is DD (dear daughter) and DS (dear son) and DH/DW (dear husband/wife), somewhat weird in my opinion...I wouldn't want to be called DD.</p>

<p>Basically it's adults' attempts at being cool on the internet....</p>

<p>It's a typing abbreviation. See the long abbreviations thread: </p>

<p>More lazy then cool. BTW, my sister said she figured out this blogger's wife's initial is DW. I had to tell her it stands for "Dear Wife". :D</p>
