Dictionary for a new user.

Relatively new to the forum and have discovered that I am sorely lacking in the current lingo, verbiage and acronyms. Could someone help me out? I am seeng most of the items that are unknown in the classified section. If there is a post on this already I apologize. I have tried to search for it, but to no avail.

Thanks
