This PUP world is confusing

I have started following a forum about Pop Up Tent Campers that has some amazing content from fellow PUP (Pop-Up Trailer) enthusiasts. However, when I first started reading the forum, I became a bit confused at the acronyms being tossed about in almost every post. Here's an example of how some of the conversations might go:

RiverRater: I like PUG for my PUP and wonder if adding an electronic WDH to the RV would benefit the maintenance of my TV?

pianojuggles: Not sure what your GCVWR is or what your TT is set up as. YMMV as far as the TV maintenance is concerned.

Midlander: The WDH is NTU. We have a HTT with a fairly low GVW. And SWMBO suggested we upgrade our BC on the TT. Also, DW says I should have an AOR instead of finding new SPUTs.

RiverRater: I agree. DW and DD want a new DO and really don't care about GAWR.

pianojuggles: Guess I'll sell my PUP and go to the Dark Side. I won't have to worry so much about either the UTW or UVW as much as long as I upgrade my TV.
These folks have their own specialized acronmyns - much like the military. So, I decided to have a page with the most common ones defined. If you see any that are Recreational Vehicles related and, specifically, Pop Up Trailers, I'd love to have them and add them to my list.

P.S. If interested in the list, please see my page called PUP Terms.
