These are not abbreviations (where each letter stands for a word), but gender neutral alternatives. |

Same question here... it's used in same context as OP and PP at the beginning of a post, but DP = what? My first guess was Double/Duplicate Poster (i.e. someone posting twice in a row) but context/usage I've seen seems to suggest that's not the case. |

| DP = Different Poster |

| What's with "Larlo"? |

OP = Opening poster or opening post (either the first person or the first post) PP = previous poster (sometimes with a time stamp to differentiate which previous poster you are) NP = new poster DP = different poster. Another poster, not the one you most recently quoted or are responding to. |

Larla is a name made up on DCUM. It was considered ridiculous enough that is has become the standard substitute name whenever you need a name for a generic "she". see https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/182934.page#1730321 Larlo is the male equivalent of Larla Karen is a generic Internet meme for an annoying, entitled woman https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/karen SBXH or usually STBXH is soon-to-be-ex Husband |

DH, DS, DD.... DW?
Any reason why these lists never seem to conceive Of a situation where the abbreviation refers to a wife? |
