DD, DS, and the like

<p>So i get that D means daughter, and S means son, and so on. but what is with the double letter thing?</p>

<p>DD=dear/darling daughter
DS=dear/darling son</p>

<p>That’s right. Dear or darling. We love you guys.
not, dumb, doggone, dreaded, disastrous, delinquent…</p>

<p>I couldn’t figure it out either. I was wondering “designated” as in the one who is heading to college??? The abbreviation thread was helpful today and long overdue for me.</p>
