TN Slang
Hi there,
I was just wondering if there is a The Nest lingo cheat sheet posted somewhere. I've seen a lot of abbreviations that I don't know. Like what is "DH"? I have figured from the context that it means husband, but why is it DH?
(I am sure I'm being really dense, but I can't even think of a reasonable guess!)
Re: TN Slang
Bio
DH - Darling/Dear/Dang/Damn Husband depending on one's mood
DS - Dear Son
DD - Dear Daughter
YWIA - You're welcome in advance
TIA - Thank you in advance
YGPM - You've got a PM
FTW - For the win
AW - Attention Wh0re
BFP - Big Fat Positive
BFN - Big fat negative
TN - The Nest
TB - The Bump
TK - The Knot
I know there are plenty more but these are just off the top of my head. I tried to find the abbreviation list and it seems to have disappeared.
I bookmarked this a long time ago, hope it helps!

That link from sewatkins is fantastic!
The ones I would highlight/add would be:
IN - International Nesties (can refer to a regular poster or to the board: "She's my favorite IN!" "I only post on IN.")
AE - Alter Ego (a second screen name, often anonymous, usually funny and/or mean, under which a regular member sometimes posts)

SAHM - Stay-at-home mom
XP - Cross-post (posting or copying the same post on another board)
C&P - Copy and paste (copying a post from another board; sometimes interchanged with XP)
ETA - Edited to add
DD - Dirty Delete (to delete a post later, usually out of shame after a lot of flameful replies, but sometimes due to privacy concerns. e.g. "I might DD later.")
F/U - Follow-up (used to tag a follow-up post in the subject)
S/O - Spin-off (used to tag the subject of a post that spun off another discussion. e.g. "S/O TN Slang - Using Nest acronyms IRL")
OP - Original poster (author of the original post, as opposed to all of the commenters)
FFC - Flame-free confession (potentially controversial confessions that are - in theory - supposed to be free from judgy flame replies; but aren't always). Related: FFFC - Friday flame-free confessions
WDINT - What do the INs think?
PIP - Picture in post (pictures included in posts). Also used as a verb: "PIP your favorite vacation destination!"
Also, a lot of the boards have abbreviated names:
