Great idea, DA. You've covered the well-used and important ones. Here's some "chatty" ones that took me a while to understand... :

SIL: sister-in-law
MIL: mother-in-law
FIL: father-in-law
DH: dear/darlin' husband OR it may be dreadful husband.
FI: fiance
DD: dear/darling daughter

One question: What is an e-ring? I have seen that one a lot and was just curious what exactly that means! I like this dictionary! I hate to admit it, but I didn't know a few of those!

Thanks so much for starting this for we neewbies. Most are very obvious, but we feel really stupid on the ones we didn't get. For me it was the OEC--I had thought it was a brand or something. Again, thanks.
