Post abbreviations, codes ?

[Redshoes]

Hello,

I'm not new to forums but since joining here I have spent a while trying to figure out what certain word abbreviations means, like AF, TMI, LMP, those three I know, I think, but there's quite a few others used I don't know, anyone have a code list?

Thankyou for any help, and I still enjoy reading all your posts regardless
