What does this stuff stand for?

I thought I would catch on but I really haven't. Does DH stand for Dear Hubby or is that just my interpretation since I've only been married a year? How about SAD? Are there any more I should know?

Acronyms

Yes, DH is Dear (usually) Hubby, DS is dear son, DD, dear daughter, etc. Of course, if you're mad at him it could stand for another D word. LOL

SAD in relation to this place means Standard American Diet - all meat, dairy and fat usually consumed in your typical meal. On non-vegetarian sites it could also mean Season Affective Disorder - the winter blues, to put it mildly.

You'll also so WW a lot, and here it usually means whole wheat, but it might also mean Weight Watcher's.

For others, this is a great web site:
