I have seen lots of references to the "DW"; exactly what does this reference mean. ??? It seems to me that it is a negative spousal reference........

An alternative to DW is SWMBO. Fans of Rumpole of the Bailey will be able to translate "She who must be obeyed".

I had my wife on her knees begging last night. She said " come out from under that bed and fight like a man "

There is a gentleman in our camping group that has educated us in proper "marriage language". When ever our spouses say something, our proper response is " Yes Dear".
