Hi usmcstepmom. I'm new here too, so we can be new together.
SO isn't on that FAQ list, but I'm assuming it's significant other (that's how I'm using it, at least). I saw GUBM somewhere (sorry, can't remember whose post), and that threw me. 
The acronyms can be a little overwhelming, but I'm thinking that they become second nature over time.

Hahaha, that's my BM...the GUBM. It stands for Golden Uterus Bio Mom/Birth Mom. Once upon a time, another blogger on here posted this article:

The TLA's (Two/Three Letter+ Acronyms) will become clear over time. If they don't just ask.
A few to get you started beyond the ones you have already identified:
DH = Dear Husband.
DW = Dear Wife
XW/XH = X (Spouse of appropriate flavor)
MIL/FIL/SIL/BIL = In laws of appropriate flavor.
BS/BD = Bio kids of appropriate flavor.
I hope you find this a good place to vent, contribute and to pick up some useful advice from others who are living the blended family dream.
