Thank you for sharing this! I have been searching the site for this exact info. If it hasn't already been suggested, can this be "sticky'd"?

Thank you for this thread. I was actually pondering DS and DD this weekend......I came up with dependent (minor) son or daughter. Guess I was close!
I like it.......it's like we have our own secret club language!

I did not know this thread existed.

I'm always asking people what the heck something is.

Now how to save it?

IMHO - In my humble opinion (was this already done - maybe...)

BTW - By the way

WTF/WTH - What the <flip>/What the hell

And my all-time personal favorite:

BITCH - Being In Total Control of Herself

I also think we should post some euphemisms too....I'll start...

"Doing a geographical" - the belief that many addicts/alcoholics hold that by moving away from their current location (new town, across town, new country, etc.), somehow all their problems will be solved. The problem is - wherever they go, there they are. They just end up taking their issues with them and nothing really changes.
