Is there a place where most commonly used jargon, acronyms & abbreviations are listed. Examples of ones I know (not complete) are

TOAD - towed vehicle
5ver- fifth wheel
TT - Travel Trailer

But I have seen some more obscure references to things like wife as co-pilot or something...not sure, just looking for a list.

I did search Google, all I found was very basic terminology. I am not new to this but just thought a compilation would be helpful.

Thanks,

JERE

You'll have the basics, such as DW (Darling Wife...or Damn Wife, depending on your mood! LOL) LOL = Laugh Out Loud Then the variations, with the rest of the family: DS (Darling Son) DD (Darling Daughter), etc. I'm not sure if there is an actual list....but you should be able to search for one....and I'm sure that there are others who can help you.
Co-pilot could be your wife, but really just refers to the object in your passenger seat....and often that is either your wife, or your dog! :-)
