Default acronym question

Hi, I have been reading this board for awhile but never posted anything. Anyways my question is about the use of acronyms by a few people that I do not know the meaning of and would like to ask what they are.
If you can please fill me in on a few of them I would appreciate it.

WOE = way of eatin?
WOL = way of life?
DH = I had thought dear husband but i have seen men say it which confused me unless from mass.
DS = not a clue, best guess is deaf sister.
FF = not a clue
A few more I cant remember atm (at the moment!)
I assume they are in the book but I do not have the patience to read.
Thanks!

I'm fairly new also, but I have learned what a few of them mean. It's the low carb lingo or lowcarbspeak, I guess. I've tried to decipher a few of them for you. I don't know what DS would be except dear sister. Maybe someone will know this one and some more and we can both get schooled.

WOE = way of eating
WOL = way of life
DH = dear husband
DW = dear wife
FF= franken food

FF might also stand for Fat Fast or Fat Flush?

DS might also stand for Dear Son?

Oh! FF is faithful friend? Sorry, I thought it stood for franken food which is an un-natural food (i think), kinda like Frankenstein.

I think FF is more commonly referring to "Fat Free"

Check out this article on our Tips page (from the menu bar at the top of the page) .. Low Carb Lingo. It provides a listing of commonly used acronyms and abbreviations which you'll find around the different LC support boards on the web.

FF - I guess it depends on the context it is used in.
