Can we get an interpretation of all new and old acronyms compiled into one thread? I think we can all use a reference thread to avoid detracting from the original topic of discussion. If it's not a problem with the moderators I can edit and update acronyms as they get posted periodically.

 

Here are several commonly used ones I am familiar with but do not know exactly what they mean.
