Your objectives are admirable but I'm not sure learning Internet jargon
will help you do that. However, if you insist, you may want to check
out

It's a free online dictionary of computereze.

Also, if you do an Altavista search on 'Internet Jargon', you will get
many hits to tickle your jargon fancy for fancy jargon.

Nah! Don't worry. The new stuff just pushes the old stuff out.
Learning new stuff is predicated on how much old stuff you want to
forget. :-)

Did you, perhaps, mean OTOH -- On the other hand?

In my opinion. Also, you will see IMHO -- In my humble opinion.

IMHO you meant OTOH in 1 rather than OTDH. AFAIK, there is no OTDH.
OTOH, there could be one and I just couldn't find it. (See how my
English has improved since I started using jargon. :-) )

Also known as.

Hope that helps. (Overloaded sincere variant--clever how that worked out
huh?)
