Acronymes

Hi Mickey,

:dazed I'm having a few problems with acronymes, I don't mind reading them or using them but sometime I just don't get the meaning. Could we have a sticky or something where we could refer to it and suggest or add new ones without it getting out of hand. :dazed

If there is already one could you tell me were?

Exemple: Alot of members is using "my DD" when talking about there childrens, what is a DD?:hmmm

Don't ever be embarassed to ask what something means. If you don't want to ask on the boards, send me a PM. I'm more than happy to help you out with it.

Any other abbreviations/acronyms anyone doesn't recognize?

So did I!! Just assumed on a Disney lovers website that you'd call your daughter your "Disney Daughter" since she loves Disney as much as me!!

Here is a list of all the terms we use on here for all our new members who don't know the lingo yet. Thought you might need this primer. Hope it helps.
