Angry Help with some the Acronyms Used

Hey everyone...
Love the site but some of these abbreviations make me feel like a government employee. So can someone define the most common abbreviations used. For example, I see a lot of people use "DH". For the sentence, I figured out they are talking about their husband but what is DH?
Damn Husband?
Domesticated Husband?
Deranged Hobo?

I figured out OWL as on-going weight loss. The period after induction and before maintenance.

But WOE? way of eating?
WOL? Way of living?

DANDR - Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution

Are there others??

Thanks. Please RSVP this VIP and give the ABC's of the forum and I'll be ROFL and able to KIT with more people.

Hello!

I'm just as confused as you are... but I think you have the WOE (way of eating) and WOL (way of living/way of life) right... I've seen other abbreviations as well, but I can't think of any right now. I hope somebody will straighten this out for us!

Hi there,

If you go to "Low Carb Tips" on the orange bar at the top of the screen, you'll see a rundown of our acronyms in "Low Carb Lingo." You'll find a lot of other great info while you're there!
