This thread deserves a bit of necromancy.

Here are a few I've learnt recently, several of them apparently started life on Mumsnet.
OH - Other Half
DD - Darling Daughter
DS - Darling Son
SIL - confusingly, Sister or Son In Law
BIL - Brother In Law
AIBU - Am I Being Unreasonable

And one of my favourites, from late '90s Slashdot
IANAL - I Am Not A Lawyer
