Many are clearer when read in context.
Here's a few for starters.

OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer.
An OEM part is sometimes referred to as a "stock" part or "factory" part.
FSM Factory Service Manual or Factory Shop Manual.
MC Master Cylinder
CSS Countershaft Sprocket
SNK Snot-Nosed Kid
List to-date from this thread:
vin
oem
fsm
nos
sot
sob
sub
omr
po

wot
wfo
aka
wtf
mc
css
snk

Location of valve shim
Common lingo is SOT Shim On Top and SOB Shim On Bottom
Sometimes see SUB Shim Under Bucket
SOB is sometimes interpreted as Shim Over Bucket
So be careful with SOB :dry:
