Meaning of GSH

What Does GSH Mean?

GSH (Good Sense of Humor/Humour) is used by people on dating sites to describe themselves as witty and entertaining. GSH is used as an alternative to GSOH to differentiate it from "Good Salary, Own Home", which has become an alternative meaning for GSOH. Experienced online daters will tell you that a claim of a GSH gives no clue to a person's ability to be witty or to entertain as most people believe themselves to have a good sense of humor/humour.

Of interest, dating sites are full of specialist abbreviations, which originate from a time when personal ads featured in local newspapers and users were charged by the word. (A term like GSH would incur a fee for just one word as opposed to four words.)
