Marta,
I hear your pain - had to learn all new language when got more or less 
involved with the discussion groups ;D

Anyhow - you can simply Google the abbreviation or check it on one of 
multiple sites - my favorites are www.urbandictionary.com and 
www.abbreviations.com

HTH, but YMMV (hope that helps, but your mileage may vary ;D)
