I don't know if this is allowed or not, but..

...I have to ask - can someone tell me what the various acronyms we use here stand for?

I figured out that WDYT was What Do You Think, NMS was Not My Style and SO was Significant Other - although I stand ready to be corrected - but some of them I just can't work out for the life of me.

I still don't know what DH stands for, and I recently saw DD, which again, confuses me a lot...

I'm one of those lazy typers who would probably use them if I knew they existed, but moreover it'd be far easier for me to read some posts if I knew was all the abbreviations meant...

If anyone can clear this up, I'd be much appreciative!

TIA! [don't know what that one stands for either, but it appears to mean thanks... :S]

urbandictionary.com works decently well for finding out what random acronyms mean, btw (by the way :p).

SO took me sometime as well!
And I wanted to recommend urbandictionary.com as well, but tunknut beat me to it ;)
