Other Half, Dear Husband

Grant, how’s your OH?

Eh? My oxygen hydride?

No, guess again.

I don’t know what.

Guess again.

My OH?

Yeah.

My overhead.

How’s she doing?

My other half.

Your other half. Very good.

Oh, I see. You know, I’m her DH.

Yes, you are. Her dear husband. And she’s your DW, right?

Right, dear wife.

Yeah, yeah. I only learned this one recently, OH. Apparently that’s one that the folks at Oxford are tracking for possible inclusion in the dictionary.

Yeah, it’s funny when my wife and I realized that we were going to have a baby.

We both spent a lot of time on these discussion forums where people were talking about, you know, raising kids and the paraphernalia and breastfeeding and that sort of thing.

And this lingo was just out there and they’re all using it.

And you’re like, I don’t even know what you people are talking about.

I know this is supposed to be about a baby and a couple, but these acronyms are throwing me.

It took quite a while.
