We were interested in getting some new car seats since Ian is about to outgrow his, so I was poking around online looking for info on them.
In one forum I was looking at I noticed that people kept using the acronyms 'DD' and 'DS' to refer to their children. For the life of me I couldn't fathom what the fuck those stood for, and apparently wasn't smart enough to just Google them like I did about five seconds ago.
I mentioned it to my wife who reads lots of blogs related to parenthood and whatnot and she piped up that they meant 'Darling Daughter' and 'Darling Son'.
I rolled my eyes and said something about what dipshits people were, to which my wife agreed.
I use acronyms because they save time. Using LASER is handy because writing out Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation is a giant pain in the ass.
But even if you're using a pencil held between your toes, typing 'DS' instead of 'son' or 'kid' or even 'annoying little bastard' isn't saving you that much time. Except maybe for that last one.
So are people just doing it to be cool and hip? Because it just makes me want to punch them in the crotch.
What acronyms annoy you?
