So maybe I'm just nieve, but I cannot figure out all of the abbreviations that people use for stuff on here. I've got some of them, (SIL, MIL, NMS, IMO) but that's about it. What on earth does DH mean? Or DS? Or LGBT? Or anything else that you have seen abbreviated? LMFAO? What is wrong with typing the whole word? Maybe I'm just old-school though...... But can someone please help me with figuring out these abbreviations?

Re: Abbreviations.....
LGBT exists outside of the bump/internet - that stands for the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender community. This a commonly accepted social acronym that I am frankly astonished so many people don't recognize (you are about the 100th person to ask).
As for the others, there is a link to the bump glossary of acronyms on the left hand side bar - here is a link:

It's just internet shorthand, you'll find them on most message boards. Just kind the way it is.
