What do "HB", "DW" and others stand for?
I assume that they refer to family members, like "SIL" must be "sister in law"?
What are some others?

As far as I know, DH is dear husband, DW is dear wife, DD dear daughter, DS dear son. You are right about SIL meaning sister-in-law. I don't know but HB might be husband.

It means BOTH!  I started referring my husband online as HB before I was familiar with computer jargon.

Dang, Shannon, on the "rate a phrase" scale, that one's worth at least a dollar!
My dad was a coal miner who never quite finished high school, and my mother was a school teacher. She had a great vocabulary, and everytime she used a "fancy" word, my dad would rate it, as in a 50 cent word, 75 cent word, etc. I guess a dollar word would be worth $10, nowadays.

LOL I hadn't noticed this post before today! You're right. If you hang around us long enough you might begin to think our names are Honey Bunny and Baby Doll! (Kind of like Jim Dear and Darling on Lady and the Tramp!)
