What does it all mean

I love reading all about these trucks and learning all I can, but I have on question that only a layman would have, and haven't found an answer.
So here it goes: what do all the acronyms mean? BHAF or maybe it was BAHF, this is just one example. Maybe some veteran can help me out here.

I feel in the dark a lot of the time

Which is why I take the time to spell the entire words.

Even after several years of reading various forums, I still have trouble deciphering the short-hand.

here is a list of all the terms abbreviated here
acronyms used in the automotive world can be over whelming.
and then the ones made up on boards just compound the problem
