Cool Jargon buster help

As a new member on this forum, although I've owned my 98 WRX Sti for 5 years now, I'm amazed by the number of "in the know abbreviations". Could anyone point me in the direction of a thread that can explain the differences betwenn the WOT's, MAF's and Det's of this world?

Default

WOT = Wide Open Throttle
MAF = Mass Air Flow sensor (the black box bolted to the airbox)
Det = Detonation, pinking or pre-ignition

Any more?

WOT = Wide open throttle
MAF = Sensor that measures the amount of air entering the engine and then the ECU puts in the right amount of fuel.
Det = detonation / pinking . . . not good for the engine

Hope it helps
