    New around here, and need a glossary. Some simple abbreviations that folks appear to take for granted are not readily evident to me. What is a "DD" or "DS"? I've been looking for a pinned thread to get the lay of the land, but no luck. Thanks in advance for help.

    Yes, with a number following referring to age. DS10 refers to a 10 year old son.

    This made me do a double take when I first started here. On other boards I've been on DS10 referred to someone's 10th son shocked
