I'm new to the chicken world and I'm seeing a lot of acronyms that I'm clueless about. Is there a "Master List of Chicken Acronyms" that I could get a copy of so I can interpret a lot of the posts on BYC?

The acronyms you see here only exist here. People add them to posts for reasons beyond my ken. They don't exist elsewhere in the poultry world. If you go to an APA sanctioned show & start asking about BOs, BAs or SFs people will have no idea what you're talking about.
 
Look in the FAQ, top of the Index page. Lots of neat stuff there!

Halfway down the page ALL the abbreviations are listed.

I don't know of any, but maybe we can start one...

LF = large fowl
BO= buff Orpington
BA = black Australorp
SF = salmon Faverolles
WCBP - white crested black Polish
OEGB - old english game bantam
BLRW = blue laced red wyandotte
GSL = golden sex link
RSL = red sex link
BSL = black sex link
BR = barred rock
BBS = black/blue/splash

I'll think of more later...

Here's a couple more to add to the list:
EE= Easter Egger
SLW= Silver laced Wyandotte
GLW= Golden laced Wyandotte
RIR= Rhode Island Red
BCM= Black Copper Marans
JG= Jersey Giant
WL= white leghorn
