Technically, ECU and PCM are different.

PCM = Powertrain control module, which is a computer that controls not just the engine, but the gearbox as well - IE you could say that an auto I6 falcon has a PCM but an auto V8 has an ECM (Engine Control Module) and a TCM (Transmission Control Module).

Also, some manufacturers use ECU to mean "Electronic Control Module" (not necessarily just the Engine Control Module) such as BCM, PCM, Climate control etc.

Just useless info I thought I would share.

Another couple:

HVAC = Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning - pretty self explanatory.
OMFG = Oh my fvcking God
OMGWTFBFXMASBBQ = Oh my God what the fvck Boosted Falcon Christmas Babecue - An expression of extreme surprise and or dismay

Also, copying the whole list is a shit idea, because if two people post very close to one another they are bound to leave each others additions out by accident - modify your posts to only include the acronyms you have added yourself
