Serious now, ok I will separate the two lists: Automotive (everybody can use this, even VIN wasn't common language for quite a few including myself) and a "slang" or whatever you want to call it, because this is really a pain in the ass for NNESP or Non Native English Speaking Persons.
It's OK, I will not insist on the "slang" ... after all, Google knows everything(specialized readability table)
I think the automotive is a good idea, if you need it you need it, if not then that's ok.
Slang, if you feel it's essential. Your call. I don't mind but portions of words will be *** starred out, I'm not a fan generally but there are rarities where perhaps expletives are justified, perhaps.....

There is (at least) one missing: SRT - single requester terminal.SRT > see link

I notice the global "F" word is alluded to regularly. The acronym F*ck , just so we're all on the same page stands "Forum Unified Collective Knowledge"(specialized readability table)

And here I thought it was a legal charge For Underage Carnal KnowledgeI notice the global "F" word is alluded to regularly. The acronym F*ck , just so we're all on the same page stands "Forum Unified Collective Knowledge"
Thus, to use the expression /acronym "FFS" is actually appealing for a course of action which will be 'for the sake of' a benefit to all! OK?
Well that's my explanation today for my 10yr old grandchild (and @Jean Mercier!
I thought might "be of benefit to all"
