I have seen other members mention that they have included DH in their e-mails and such (away from TCS) without thinking, but have any of you actually used it orally? When I first joined TCS I just could not comprehend who the heck DH was. It seemed that he sure must get around. When I did find out, I decided that since I had never seen DW used (and still have not) that I would start using it. But, only for TCS of course.

Last night my sister-in-law and I were talking and she asked me a question. I said "Oh no, I don't think DW would like that".

SIL said "Dee who"?

That's funny. Don't feel bad - I did something worse. At one German site I visit, everybody refers to their partners as "NG", for Nebengeräusch, which is roughly "ambient noise" or "background noise". One day, after having been at the site a few hours the evening before, I actually referred to my husband as "Nebengeräusch" at school.

Ooh, ambient noise or background noise, how appropriate. Now to decide if that would be him or me.

In our house it would be him. I often think he's talking to me and will stop what I'm doing to go see and find he's just talking to himself. I mentioned before when we're watching a movie he talks way too much - he comments on what is happening or being said so that we miss the next things happening and have to rewind all the time.

I refuse to go golfing with him - he's not really keen on golf and I am so he'll be more interested in carrying on conversations with everyone. I keep telling him he has to follow golf etiquette and be ready to play and not keep people waiting while he talks at which point he gets upset with me and thinks I take the game too seriously.
He's a social butterfly!
