post abbreviations

[Boo's Mommy]

is there a section or can someone tell me what some of these typical abbreviations stand for (ie, dd or imhop, etc)?
i am new to posting and i've read these things in numerous posts and i don't understand. at first, i thought dd was a child's name, but then i saw it on too many other posts, too many to be conincidentally the same name.
i know this is lame, but i don't know anywhere else to look.
are there other "standard" abbreviations used?

This thread in the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) forum has a lot of the ones specific to this site/Disney stuff.

I'm sure there's probably a couple of other lists out there for general posting - but on the ones you asked:
DD - Darling or Dear Daughter
DS - "" Son
DH - "" Husband
DW - "" Wife
IMHOP - In My Humble Opinon

Welcome Boo's Mommy!

I'm not a pro at abbreviations, but I can help you with some of the basics...
DS / DD .... Dear son / Dear daughter
(Sometimes you see a number after DS or DD if they have multiple kids)
DH / DW... Dear Husband / Dear Wife
IMHO... In my humble opinion
You will also see lots of Disney specific ones:
WDW / DL / DCA .... Walt Disney World / Disneyland / Disney's Ca Adventure
and all the rides too, some easier then others to decifer.
HISTA .... Honey I shrunk the Audience
ITTBAB ..... It's Tough to be a Bug

Hope that helps for starters.

ETA (Edited to Add): Oops, I started to reply and got pulled away before I was able to send. Never thought to look in the FAQ, thanks Drince88.

Welcome Boo's Mommy!

I felt the same way you did when I got here. I didn't understand DD/DS/DW/DH either. I found a padder that seemed friendly and asked her! She was happy to help.

If there are any more that stump you, feel free to ask. Most everyone is so helpful here, I am sure they would tell you. Or, feel free to pm me, and I will answer if I know! If not, I can find out!

One that stumped me was YMMV. Your mileage may vary.

Pretty soon it will become second nature to you, and you will be using the abbreviations too.

Again, welcome!
