Abbreviations, Acronyms and TDR lingo

As a first time diesel owner, I have found my TDR subscription to be the best place for my money so far. However, as a newby, it can be hard to read some of the threads posted by the old timers as they are full of abbreviations and acronyms that aren't heard every day (other than here).
So feel free to post more commonly seen abbreviations and acronyms.

TDR: Turbo Diesel Register. You're lookin at it!!

CTD: Cummins Turbo Diesel; what you drive; commonly refered to by neighbors as "That big, loud, thing of your's!!!"
BOMB: Better Off Modified Baby; anything that makes your CTD better (it is possible)
BHAF: Big Honkin' Air Filter check this thread BHAF picture
FP: Fuel Pressure
EGT: Exhaust Gas Temperature

For the non-computer types:
BTW: By The Way
LOL: Laughing Out Loud

ROFLMAO: Rolling On Floor Laughing My Anal cavity Off
