I have been on here a little while but still not clued up on the word initialling - DH, DP etc. I guess the second initial is Husband or partner? But what does the first one mean? Also all the other initials which i can't think of right now but a run down would be great to help me understand some of the posts.

I also see IMAO around a lot, what on earth is it?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
