Acronyms

As someone who is new to this forum, I could not find a sticky thread or even a thread that has definitions of all the acronyms used on this forum. So, I would like to start one.

What does the following mean?

IRROPS
Y class or whatever

Also worth noting that while "Y" is sometimes used specifically to refer to a Y-class fare, it is often used to mean any coach seat, and "F" can also mean either an F-class fare, or any first class seat (e.g., "I got a UG to F on my outbound flight, but I was stuck in Y on the return.").
