I use an extra "s" in the children/grandchildren abbreviations of mine, but I don't think I've seen them anywhere else.

Therefore ds-s = darling/dearest/dratted step-son; ds-d = step-daughter; etc ... because they're not actually mine, you understand ... I was only 7 when ds-d was born, and at age 27 I inherited a 4 year old ds-gd.

And then there's...

LOL = Lots of Laughter / Laughing out Loud

BTW = By The Way

TBH = To Be Honest

The original small insert into the welcome sticky is looking as though it will get rather long. I think I'll split these posts and make a new thread that I can point to. That way the welcome stays tidy and the thread can be added to if needed without me having to constantly edit things.

Thanks for this thread, have been wondering about some of the abbreviations for a while, but didn't want to seem stupid! There is still one I can't figure out though - PMSL or something like that?
