I've tried to search (unsuccessfully) for a "glossary of terms" used in this (and maybe other programs') forums.
I read the threads but can't decipher what all of the shortforms mean most of the time... what the heck is a SWU, or a SSWU, or even a FAM?! These and many, many more are lost on me and probably others.
Is there somewhere I can access a listing similar to the one posted by Empress and updated by Andrew Yiu? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22809
Help a dislexic girl out?

Look under Help on the top FlyerTalk banner, ie on the top of the page at the left.

And welcome to FT!

And to help you out - as some of the ones you mentioned aren't there:

FAM: Federal Air Marshall
SSWU: Special System Wide Upgrade. An AC upgrade certificate enabling status passengers to upgrade on less expensive fares.

hahahaaha... speaking of dyslexic, I of course meant on the right!

OK, I'm a southpaw, and I'm always confusing north and south..... :)

Apparently I've been on this board for a while and didn't know it was there either. Looks like it is missing some of the more AC centric terms.
