Would someone please compile a full list of all of the acronyms that folks use in the game to refer to dungeons and/or battle situations etc.

When I go to reddit or similar sites people in the know use these abbreviations and I am clueless as to their meanings. Just an old duffer trying to learn thr game. Thanks.

Found this. Hope it helps:

Come along! Join us in a bit of kick and prance!
What did he say?
Kick and prance. It means dance. It's leerie-speak. You don't say the words you mean. You say something that rhymes, only - here, I'll show you how it works. Angus, give us your weep and wail. To the rest of ya, that means tale.

I was short of a sheet
He was in the street
Just a tumble down the sink
Just to get himself a drink
Then I pinched what's fatter
He grabbed his ladder
He smiled and smirked
To work!

Children, tell us your sorry tale
(Give us your weep and wail!)

Well, we had this bowl
Rabbit in the hole
That fell and broke
Bicycle spoke
So we took it to a shop
Like a lollipop
And went upside down
That's a circus clown
Then went to the bank
Rattle and clank
Got lost in a fog
Lump on a log
Till we found a friend
To stand and defend
Who took us on a trip
Snap a horse's whip
And we tripped a little light fantastic
Now that sounds a little bit bombastic

Any particular game you're referring to? Might be easier to list the ones you've seen and don't know and we can translate. A lot of them maybe game specific.

My apologies to all. I am referring to Grim Dawn. I need help with all of the acronyms associated with Grim Dawn. No other game. Thanks
You are going to have to ask specifically. Nobody is going to list you some "complete" list of acronyms.
A bit of searching the internet gave me this:
https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/gd-acronym-and-abbreviation-list/29433

A list like that or a link to a list would probably be a good thing to have in the game's subforum as well.
