DW?

I've seen many use the term DW. I'm presuming it's a term for the significant other but not sure exactly what it means. So I thought I'd ask. My guesses are Dear Wife or Designated Walker (For backing up) Okay I have no clue.

There is an extended, but not a complete list of acronyms and abbreviations that are fairly common on the forum. There are many others that show up from time to time. Some of them occasionally force some "head scratching" to figure out. For those, sometimes a "GOOGLE search" for the acronym will provide a link to the "GOOGLE Urban Dictionary" which goes well beyond acceptability for this "family rated forum"....

Here's the link to our forum listing: http://www.keystoneforums.com/forums...read.php?t=449

Please note the bold statement at the bottom of the list. We try, for the most part, to remain a family forum. It's never acceptable to post controversial or vulgar terminology, even when it's "in an abbreviated or clandestine form"...

I actually went looking for a thread like that but obviously failed. Thanks.

I also figured this was a family friendly site so will keep the Teufelhunden bottled up.

I have always preferred to think of it graciously, as Devoted Wife, and Devoted Husband. LOL

You will also see EMS used regularly. It's stands for Electrical Management System.

FWIW, EMS could also stand for Emergency Medical Service if you upset the DW while backing your TT into a camping spot and you rack the front fender of your TV against a tree and blame it on her. YMMV.
