SHO and Tuning Acronym Decoder (for beginners)

[Zpak]

I’ve had this idea for awhile. While this is common knowledge for most I still see questions or terms misused so I thought this could be helpful for new people to the platform or random internet searchers alike. I know when I was new to the platform I saw some of these acronyms used in banter I was unsure of. I know I’ll miss a bunch so feel free to add anything to the list. Also, I hope that gen1/2 people will add any previous generation SHO specific acronyms.
