This is a list of some terms I wrote up long ago, its part of a notecard of tips and hints for the new residents. Feel free to IM me in world and I will send you a copy.

Some SL exclusive terms you'll see...

AV, Avie, avatar. Your body, who you are, the appearance of your AV can be changed almost infinately.
IM, instant message. IM button is at bottom left of the screen, use this to send a private message to someone, online or offline. If your IM button is flashing, someone is sending you a message.
SIM, simulator, or server. a SIM is a region of the world.
PRIM, primitive. A PRIM is a basic building block.
REZ, to create something. If you take something out of your inventory, you have "rezzed" it.
TP, port, teleport. People will often ask you to offer them a TP to your location so they can join you. Find this option in the person's profile. You can ask someone to TP you to them.
LM, landmark. A LM is a place located in a sim.
HUB, TELEHUB, and TH, a telehub is a teleport destination. When you choose to TP somewhere, you will arrive at the nearest HUB to the destination, then you can fly or walk the rest of the way.
L$ and US$, Linden Dollars (in world money) and US Dollars.
RL and FL, real life and first life. Places that interfere with SL

Searching the forums is a great way to learn things about SL. If you are a member of SL, then logging into the forums will give you greater access to them. Also people host many in-game events for learning about SL.

One of these days, I'm gonna script something that I can use to cover people's avatars in toilet paper, for when they ask me to 'TP' them.

Really handy for new people, Loki. I have been playing so long I didn't even notice that we are practically speaking our own language in this game.
