Wonder no more!  There exists among the files in the main list's 
Admin Files section a document written precisely to answer this sort 
of question, which explains both common net shorthand (such as IIRC, 
which means 'If I recall correctly') and some HP/HPFGU specific 
terms, located at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/Admin%
20Files/HPforGrownups-shorthand.htm

There's also the newly launched Inish Alley list of HPFGU acronyms 
(from CRAB to the venerable LOON, and many others as well), which can 
be found at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/Admin%
20Files/hpfgu_inish_alley.htm

(Apologies if the links to either of those break because of Yahoo!'s 
word-wrapping.)

And don't forget that y'all can ask the List Elves about this sort of 
thing -- we love to help out!  If you don't have a List Elf of your 
very own and would like one, email the Elves-n-Mods at hpforgrownups-
owner at yahoogroups.com.
