Help with jargon

Could someone please help me?

All these threads mention OH and DD etc and I don't understand what they all mean. Could someone please give me a quick rundown as to what they stand for.

Many Thanks

    I'm glad I asked now, I thought I would eventually get it, (but I didn't)

    It is confusing for a newbie.... x

    Don't worry about feeling silly - I used to wonder for ages who lol was and how come everyone seemed to know and refer to him.

    Eventually relised it was "laugh out loud!".:o

    Young lady that I work with receives emails and text messages from her daughter and sometimes they include an "LOL".

    She's convinced that it means "Lots of Love".

    I gave up trying to convince her that it didn't!
