Default Anacronyms

I've been a member for several months now and enjoy reading people's posts, both technical and humourous! However I am having trouble understanding some of the anacronyms people use ( eg. ATC, IPK, FBH, HGF). I did a search and couldn't find a guide to what these and others mean, when you know you know but when you don't it's just gibberish! Can anyone shed some light as to what the most commonly used anacronyms mean?

Lonely days are long
Twilight sings a song
All the happiness that used to be

Soon my eyes will close
Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams, you're always near to me

I'll see you in my dreams
And then I'll hold you in my dreams

Indeed. You can blame me for that.
For anyone who doesn't know (!), alternative meanings for this and other acronyms are given in Wikipedia.
