Is there an acronym dictionary here?

my sons and i were looking here and learning, and there are so many acronyms... i need to find out the 411 asap b4 my kids go awol and i get fubar'd... i told them ro/di and a few others, but whats a gtba ? it took me a while to find out and i know and use the search feature, but when you find an acronym, everyone uses it.... it would be helpful to those who do not know the lingo yet? i am sure most people here read this forum like the hackers in the matrix, but us newbs need helps!
there is so much info here, its overwhelming, and if there was a post i could open in another window to allow continual cross reference, it would definitely be easier. i didnt see anything like that here...

for example it took 5 minutes to realize someone was talking about a part number vs a acronym.... oh well, maybe it just comes with the turf.

tia, (thats thanks in advance and a very bad joke to end this post with... )
