It was used in this thread: alcohol violation</p>

<p>...thought it meant "son which I miss", but nvm.

[/QUOTE]
</p>

<p>They used it as "Someone Who's Not Me." I know that because I was apart of that thread and it was explicitly outlined in it.</p>

22

<p>yadda yadda yadda anti-nag post</p>

23

<p>I've never been fond of this "quirk" but it doesn't bother me. People: each to his own. Kid posters, back off. You're being stupid.</p>

24

<p>D1, D2? I'm going to need those defined, I thought it was some new math class I've never heard of.</p>

25

<p>Daughter one and daughter two; as in oldest and second oldest.</p>

26

<p>Anything that means less typing helps.</p>

27

<p>And here we go with yet another anti-nag post!</p>

28

<p>

</p>

<p>Bingo. This guy just won the thread.</p>

29

<p>

I lol’ed</p>

<p>XD</p>

30

<p>anti-nag post once again</p>

31

<p>and yet another anti-nag post</p>

32

<p>What do all these abbreviations mean? </p>

33

<p>S1 = son
S2 = other son
D1 = daughter
D2 = other daughter
Ds = dear son
Dd = dear daughter</p>

<p>I can’t decide whether it annoys me or not.</p>

34

<p>I don’t get it either, oh well. Slightly annoying but not a dealbreaker.</p>

35

<p>Wow that’s annoying. Why are parents on here anyway?</p>

36

<p>Because they pay for college…</p>

37

<p>

</p>

<p>Maybe the super moderators with 16,000 posts are just tired of typing. :slight_smile: And for those too young to know, the # references harken back to the Charlie Chan era of filmmaking (slightly before North America was colonized but sometime after the Stone Age). Charlie Chan referred to his eldest son as his #1 son. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Many families have questions about the process because it’s new. What they went through with Darling Son #1 (DS1) may be different from what they’re going through with DD1 (Darling Daughter #1) or DS2. Parents on these threads provide a lot of help. If a thread topic doesn’t interest you, skip it.</p>

<p>I think it’s extremely dehumanizing, giving a number to each of your children doesn’t seem very caring/loving lol. Stop trying to make your own abbreviations like you’re trying to be “hip” :)) it isn’t too hard to type out. Don’t be lazy.</p>

39

<p>@demorrin,</p>

<p>Do you ever use abbreviations? Ever? When you do, are you trying to be hip? Or are you being lazy? Lol does it matter? In the grand scheme of things…</p>

<p>I can admit, I stopped trying to be hip long ago…and yes, it is easier to use abbreviations. </p>

<p>I’m honestly just glad my parents don’t use this site. I would hate for them to constantly be intervening in my college business and decision-making… My main point about the abbreviations is that it’s dehumanizing and rude to the actual kids they are referring to. I wouldn’t like to be called “S1” what am I, a robot or science experiment? @newhavenCTmom</p>
