[radwife]

super dumb question, I'm sure.

what does ETA stand for??

I can figure out most of the acronyms, but this one has me stumped. Help me out!

Edited to add.

[radwife]

ah ha! Thanks so much! I totally wouldn't have guessed that, but it makes so much more sense now! Thank you!

[Meenah]

Of course in the olden days, it meant estimated time of arrival!!!!!!!

[radwife]

I googled ETA and I could only find estimated time of arrival and was thinking "this makes no sense!?!" lol!

I have to all the time!

I thought we had a sticky around here at one point, especially for those that are specific to medicine. Ahhh ... who knows, just ask.

I am so glad you asked this because I had no clue either!

Ask away!

As they say in elementary school, there's no such thing as a stupid question.

For a long time, I read DH/DS/DD as Darling Husband...Darling Son, etc. Then I once googled it bc I was googling other acronyms and realized that the rest of the world reads it as "Dear Husband, Dear Son, etc" But for me, the "darling" has stuck.

:P

It can be either, or when you're mad it can be "damn'" ....

Wow, all this time I had been thinking they stood for Doctor Husband, Doctor Son, etc. I didn't want to use DH yet because my husband is still in school and hasn't earned the right to be called doctor yet. I was afraid it would be disrespectful to all the people who's husbands had made it. Just goes to show you how clueless I am with all of this.
