please help the FNG - WTF are all of these TLA's?!?!?!

when youre 'in the know', its so much easier to type a TLA (three-letter-acronyms ) id start a list of the ones i dont know (and by reading a thread you can sometimes get the general idea) - but could you please add some for the FNG's? TIA.

ill get the list started

CAI - cold air induction
FRPP - (ok this one is an FLA) - Ford Racing Performance Parts
IUP - interior upgrade package

What's FNG? LOL.

some random additions...
ABS = Anti-lock Brake System
STB = Strut Tower Brace
SJB = Smart Junction Box
(E)FI = (Electronic) Fuel Injection
AMV = Adjusted Market Value (utter )
IRS = Independent Rear Suspension
SRA = Solid Rear Axle
SVO = Special Vehicle Operations
SVT = Special Vehicle Teams


BTW, isn't MAF = Mass Air Flow (sensor or meter)?
Or it could be something the g/f / wife could ask when trying on clothes " - is MAF?" but won't go there...

This one stumped me for awhile as a FNG here:

ERL = Evil Robot Lady (the dial-in voice for checking status of your car)

Oh, and near and dear to Grabber Orange folks:

BOGO = Brothers (or Babes) Of Grabber Orange

That's always a tough call So which one has the bigger one, the wife or the gf? And wouldn't be MALF? or you could always swap the vowel out for another choIce one...
