Abbreviation for "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" or a member of The Church.
Members are formally referred to as "Latter-day Saints." "Saints" as used in the New Testament being any follower of Christ. While it is appropriate to refer to a Latter-day Saint as a "Mormon," it is not appropriate to refer to the Church as the Mormon Church. Other names for the organization that are discouraged are the LDS Church and Church of the Latter-day Saints.
In addition to "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," "The Church of Jesus Christ" and the "Church" are also encouraged.
"Latter-day Saints" or ("LATTER-DAY SAINTS" when using all caps ) is the appropriate hyphenation and capitalization. Other forms like "Latter-Day Saints" and "Latter Day Saints" are incorrect even though some Mormons use those forms due to a lack of awareness.
It's best to refer to the official style guide - www.mormonnewsroom.org/style-guide.
In fact, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" is the name owned and previously used by the "Communities of Christ" and "Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" is used by a group that practices polygamy. Neither of these organizations has formal ties to the "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
The term "Mormon" is also properly used in the "Mormon Tabernacle Choir," Mormon Trail," and "Book of Mormon."

LDS is an a acronym for "Long Distance Shot". Long Distance Shots occur when two people or two groups of people who don't live in the same location contact each other over the phone or some form of web chat, like Skype, to have a drink a shot together.
Kyle: Nova, where the fuck were you?? I was trying to get a hold of you all night! We were celebrating at aunt Sylvie's and thought of you and tried calling so we could take an LDS together!!
