diy
(Other definitions for diy that I've seen before include "Home 'improvements' (abbr.)" , "Initially, an acronym for domestic craftsmen" , "Initials describing activities of self-sufficient worker in home" , "Initially, description of home handyman or his work" , "Intially, the home handyman's work" .)
