Can someone with all the abbreviations please?

Hi, I've just joined gurgle and have been reading some of your messages. I'm a bit confused by all the abbreviations used though. Is anyone able to help explain the meanings to me? Think I worked out ttc is trying to conceive but some of the others aren’t so easy. Any help appreciated :)

lol- laugh out loud the af i knew meant period but didn't know it was aunt flow- is that a regional dialect thing? just i've known it by several other names inc: got my curse, got painters and decorators in, and my hubby uses the 'up on blocks' one! basically liking me to a car implying i am out of action! cheeky beggar lol
