Re: DD, DH...etc (Please help a newbiw with the LINGO!)

There is a list somewhere...quickly DD is Dear Son or Disney Son, DD is Dear Daughter or Disney Daughter, and DH is Dear Husband or Disney Husband etc.

Anyway hopefully someone will link to that thread for you.

Hope this helps

Disney Newsgroup abbreviations:


add - alt.disney.disneyland
add(l) - alt.disney.disneyland
add(w) - alt.disney.disneyworld

DDD - Disney Deprivation Disorder

FDC - Future Disney Cabinet

RAD - rec.arts.disney
r.a.d. - rec.arts.disney
r.a.d.* - rec.arts.disney (all three tend to refer to the entire cluster of Disney related newsgroups here in the rec.* hierarchy)
RADP - rec.arts.disney.parks
radp - rec.arts.disney.parks
r.a.d.parks - rec.arts.disney.parks
RAD.p - rec.arts.disney.parks

TDC - Trimobious Disney Cabinet

WDWIG - Deb's Unofficial Walt Disney World Information Guide


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other common abbreviations (this list doesn't have *all* the abbreviations)

BTW - By The Way


FWIW - for what it's worth
IMHO - in my humble opinion
OT - off topic
OTOH - On the Other Hand


ROFL - rolling on floor laughing
ROFLMAO - rolling on floor laughing my *butt* off
TTFN - Ta Ta For Now
TTYL - Talk To You Later

YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary (means that no two people experience the same thing in exactly the same way, just a caution placed on some descriptions of places, events, food, merchandise, consumer habits, practices, etc.)

A Couple of Notes

GOH or GoH - Guest of Honor, parodying and imitating WDW's practice this year of honoring which year park visitors visited WDW for the first time. Some people added this information, speaking about themselves, in their signatures at the bottoms of posts. It simply means the year the person writing the posting to the newsgroup visited WDW for the first time.

Emoticons - Emoticons: Punctuation signs that are arranged within text in such a way as to display the simulation of a face when viewed by turning your head to one side. Inserted into text to relay a facial expression or emotion/attitude to match the text, softens the text to "humanize" it somewhat and make it seem less harsh, less blunt, offered as friendly advice, etc., or to relay how news/information affects the writer.

:-) or :) - Happy/smiling
:-( or :-( - Sad/frowning/disappointment
:-D - Very happy/Very big grin
:-/ - Skepticism/not feeling great
;-) or ;) - Winking and smiling/in-joke or joking or teasing
:-| - Ambivalence/Not pleased

Re: DD, DH...etc (Please help a newbiw with the LINGO!)

Thanks for the list inluvwithdisney...

I would note that on this board DC means DisneyCentral not Disney Club, and Downtown Disney has been referred to as DtD as DD is normally thought of as Dear/Disney Daughter on DC

Crikey that list is big!!!

DD,DH,DS all stood for what I assumed they would stand for, so I'm not utterly out of touch yet, which is good

Thanks to you all for the greets. Been a long time lurker but have finally decided to crawl out of the woodwork and make my voice heard!

Nice To Meet You All Too!!

I have to say, that a lot of the abreviations are outdated. Example: AE(Alien Encounter is not there anymore). It is hard, but if you see an abreviation that you don't know just ask!! We here on DC are friendly, and we don't bite. LOL. Welcome to DC!

Long gone! It is in the process of being replaced by Stich's Great Escape in Fall 2004. I know there is a thread somewhere about abbreviations, somewhere on DC. I will do some investigating

Finally someone asked. I was afraid to ask what some of the lingo meant. I have to say it made for pretty interesting reading. Am I getting old or what?
