Brewing lingo help for us newbs

[Chuck_leis]

Hey everybody! I like a lot of other people am relatively new to brewing. I have done a couple extract kits and would like to step up to all grain in the relatively near future. So I'm trying to do some research on what kinds of setups I like,equipment I'll need, techniques to use them, etc. The problem is, sometimes I have absolutely no idea as to what in the blazes you are actually talking about!! I mean seriously, it's like you are talking a different language lol!! So I guess what I'm getting around to (I know it's a long way around but hey...) is this... Does anybody have a list of or would like to contribute to a list of all of the technical jargon and acronyms? A brief description of each term or acronym would be awesome!

Thanks in advance, this will really help us people out who are just learning!!
