willow's guide to abbreviations

[supernature]

I've been thinking about doing this for a while, and after someone on my flist asked me about one today, I thought I should go ahead with it. Now I'm not gonna act like I know them all, because I don't, I'm still learning new ones every day and this will be updated when I do. Also feel free to tell me of any I may have forgotten.

ngl, I got most of these from ohnotheydidnt :p
