DE is a qualifier
Many people here who are careful about CY will not eat something that is qualified as DE, while they might eat other things certified by the OU.
DE does not necessarily make it non kosher, there are some that are still CY.

Where did I say non-kosher?

However most (if not all) products qualified as DE, mean that the DE was non-CY.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Sheesh. It was (partially) in jest connoting that non CY is non kosher as per halacha.
And "most" isnt all.

Obviously. But that doesn't refute my questioning of whether there are any products with a Kosher certification and a DE qualifier printed, whereby the DE is CY DE.

I know. And that's why I responded with POIDH. But someone else decided to go into details rather than appreciate the humor, so I felt compelled to shut that down :)

Pretty much, when discussing a person it means their tendency to rule halachic questions n a stringent manner. The opposite would be meikil.
