Terminology/Acronyms

[Longshot]

Hello DFP members,
I was wondering if there is a thread or maybe a separate site that has the explanations for some of the Acronyms/Terms I see used here? I did a search and found a thread on this site that contains a few of the acronyms but it seems to be very old and severely lacking (Ken Krause). Thanks.

It would help if you threw out the ones you have questions about. Also if you are in a thread and don't understand something don't be afraid to just ask we don't bite....usually

Understood. I am putting together a list of terms right now. Some I know, Some I don't and some I might have incorrect. I will post them here after I have them all gathered. Hopefully this will help new members who might have the same problem.
