Wow that is probably asking alot I was kinda hoping for the easy way!! but I guess here are a few :

FED -
OBR - Official Baseball Rules
AMLU -
PBUC -
NFHS -
GD - In regards to Stance?

Some of those I know what they are but not the exact meaning. Also I think this would be a good post to constantly update so noobs like myself know what is going on when they come and can keep up with the conversation.

FED/NFHS - national federation of state high school associations. aka high school rules or sometimes federation rules. most people just say "fed", pronounced like "i am fed up"
OBR - you got it right. aka major league rules
AMLU - association of minor league umpires - MiLB umpires union
PBUC - professional baseball umpire corp - pronounced "p-buck" to most
GD - gerry davis, used when talking about the gerry davis system
