Default Learning the Acronym Lingo

I need help with all the Acronyms used on this site. Folks are using acronyns and I am trying to relate them to my past career and it don't work since I was a federal employee. If anyone has a list, I would appreciate some info. It is like reading a book with some of the pages missing. Thanks

A couple others that, while not on that list or specific to bikers, are often found on the forums:

IIRC - If I recall correctly

IMHO - In my humble opinion, ...

AFAIC - As far as I'm concerned, ...

AFAIK - As far as I know

FWIW - for what its worth

YMMV - your mileage may vary (e.g. your opinion may be different...)

Butt Jewelry - a $17K Harley with $50K of chrome and bling on it, generally with around 3K miles or less on the odometer!

HTH - Hope this helps!

Screaming Eagle Race Tuner - that is used for adjusting the ignition module on the EFI Harleys. One per bike needed and only works with that one bike.
