BTW, what does HHI mean. I realize it's related to income but don't know what the two "HH"s stand for. Thanks

Well, maybe she doesn't want to sift through 10 pages - can you blame her?

"Bump" is what people post when a thread isn't getting any replies and they want to post something, anything, so that it goes to the top of the chronological topics list and more people are likely to see it/reply to it. Posted by either the OP (original poster) or someone else who is curious to see replies.

PP, if you don't know what bump means, you could probably benefit from all the other definitions in the other pages of this thread. Why not read through it? It's definitely covered there.

Usually on the internet, FUD stands for fear, uncertainty and doubt-- basically means someone is trying to trash an idea or option with vague statements of pending misfortune.

THIS !! is my thought every time im reading DCUM and ISYN

+1000000000000!!! i really hate the dear son dear husband crap. i don't like mom boss and dad boss either! it's so weird to me and you wouldn't say the phrases so why use the abbr?


MB and DB are okay to use in my book just to keep the bosses straight and not have to use real names. but otherwise "DS" ect just sounds stupid, cuz in my head i dont register it as "oh they are referencing their son" i read, "and then i told dear son to stop bothering dear daughter" and i realize hope stupid i sound in my head lol
