Many times in chat or at the main site we discuss with each other using acronyms (short forms/jargon) of single-liners.

In order to help new users, internet chat slang unaware users (myself), non-native English speakers and many more I would like to collect here for keeping record Stack Exchange Glossary - Dictionary of Commonly-Used Terms.

I think Paulo has already trained the chat bot for this.

Stack Exchange Glossary - Dictionary of Commonly-Used Terms should give most of the abbreviations. Actually the origin is usually IRC and usenet jargon: Internet slang (Wikipedia).

@Speravir I found there was no comprehensive meta Q&A on this and hence posted it. Thanks for the Internet slang link.
