Acronyms!

I hope this hasn't been done on this board and I just didn't see it! I searched pretty thoroughly, but it's easy to overlook things.
Shoutouts to @ellcore who compiled a glossary here, and to the folks of this blog who compiled another glossary here.
I was going crazy with the acronyms, and found that neither of the two links above had all the ones that I wanted to look up. Tiring of referring back, I thought I'd compile them here, adding a few more that weren't on either list.
If folks want to add more that aren't here, if you comment I can just edit the post.
