DD ???

[default]

My daughter asked me a question tonight that I really didn't have an answer to! I have assumed over the last couple of months that posters use DD instead of the word daughter. As my 11 year pointeed out to me, there are NOT two D's in the word daughter. So we have changed it to mean "DARLING DAUGHTER" ?: Are we off the mark here?? ?:-? I'm interested in everyones opinions or even how this got started.

I've always taken it to mean "Darling Daughter". Not sure how it ever got started.

Maybe some of the older posters can give us some insight.

I always thought it was Dear Daughter....just as affectionate I guess...

For most its "Darling Daughter" also "Diamond Daughter" or "Diamond Darling"

My best guess is that it dates back to ole Eteamz message board (back when it was useful) about 3-4 years ago at least . May go back much further but thats the 1st time I ever remember seeing DD. My wife loves to say " Your DD .......... " MD Ps I love Dollar Drainer

DD and DH (and the other Ds) predate any web-based message board and I'm pretty sure they have no origin in softball or other sport ... I remember seeing the abbreviations used on pre-web Prodigy boards (not sports-oriented) back when everyone was paying by the minute and on all-text Usenet boards very early on. They are just generic abbreviations for family members, and I always had the impression the first D was for "dear", though everyone can have their own definition.
