Anyone care for posting a list of original words/terms for abbreviations we use on the forum everyday? Which inlude official and friendly ones. This will help me a lot to understand the subjects quicker and easier, probably help others, too.
Thank you very much for your generosity and charity.

Depending on context, either
"new old stock" usually referring to goods for sale such as tubes which are old but have never been used
or
"non over sampling" usually referring to DAC's (Digital to Analog Converters) which operate at the basic sampling rate of 44.1 KHz.
"Suck it and see", an expression used by Brits & Aussies to indicate that if you're not sure about something, try it and see what happens.

Maybe some internet/computer related terms could be welcome as well, as they're of frequent use here...
IIR If I recall
IIRC If I recall correctly
FYI For Your Info
AFAIK As Far As I Know
IMO In My Opinion
IMHO In My Humble Opinion
(There are a lot more, but I don't know if these kind of term are a welcome addition to the list, so...)
KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid!
And, with regards to Brian's post: my personal favorite acronym: TLA (Three Letter Acronym)

Thank you all involved.
Especially to Rob;
I was thinking of making up an Excel sheet with all of these valuable terms so that we can sort in alpha-numeric sequence every time after adding new terms from respectable donors(?). I am absolutely sure Rob will do much better job and I appreciate it very much.
Later.
