Usually folks in a thread that you see the lingo being used will gladly help you out if you ask what it means. We should have a comprehensive MFP abbreviations list though it would be a bit of a work.

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). Heres a good thread about it: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/819055-setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets

NSV (Non-Scale Victory). Basically any fitness related success such as being able to lift weight which you found hard or impossible to before, or having to buy a new belt because you ran out of holes in the old one and the old one is too lose now or new clothes because too loose etc
