Rather DH than the genuinely awful "hubby".

eeeuww - I hate the term Hubby, or hubs, or hubsy - and I actually shudder when I hear someone use those terms in real life.

I'm child free by choice, and I had no idea what CFbC meant.

Try the pensions forum. I've spent all my working life in the financial world, yet some of the abbreviations on there might just as well be in a foreign language!

Tbh, I don't really like it either....particularly on those occasions when the husband is being a PITA and is not exactly dear!

Oooo look at me being all superior by using all those acronyms! :rotfl:

But then the d can be for damn, dastardly or anything else beginning with d. Its quite flexible. On long running threads here I refer to my DH as fir ( foundinrates, to my lostinrates) but that seems more 'presumptuous' than using the 'key' to communication. Most forums have a link some where for acronyms and people are usually very helpful to explain them, I've benefitted from that many times, whether its universal things or forum specific language.


There is no prohibition in typing out 'husband', and it does look nicer, but I don't think it is 'superior' attitude necessarily in either approach. Depends on why its being done.



The simple answer is if one is not sure to ask, as the OP ( original poster) did in this case and some one is bound to explain nicely.

Have a lovely weekend everybody.

On another forum someone was having a nightmare of a time with her (now ex) husband, so we formed a new acronym. NSDH. Not Such a Darling Husband. It got around the forum rules for the expletives which we otherwise would have used to describe him, but would have resulted in us all being banned.
