Terms I flat don't understand

It drives me crazy. I'm reading a post and just when I'm about to understand what's being said, the writer throws in a few three-letter-shortcuts that blows everything. Common terms used often like pov, milf, gonzo, and a number of others still elude me. The worst are like BLW, SFL, etc.,
The problem I've had is failing to find a glossary of all this confusion. Do they think we are mind-readers?
After wrestling with this for way too long, I'm gonna just lay it in the lap of the helpful people here in PU's forum.

POV stands for Point of view. In other words, exactly what you are looking for ... except (see below): the girl talks to you, undresses for you, you even get to fondle her vicariously or get a bj from her except that it is through the photographer's very visible hands and penis, etc. which of course you don't want! MILF: Mother(s) I would like to fuck. Gonzo: what you see in most DVDs today, no pretense of a story, it's straight to the sex. Mostly shot by loud-mouthed, bragging morons who happened to get a hold of a camera. Very monotonous, very repetitive but the public must like it or there wouldn't be so much of it. The other terms I can't help you with.

P.S. If my definition of Gonzo is wrong I am looking forward to being enlightened myself.

If it helps, there is an old thread that contains a lot of the common acronyms. See:

Not sure I'm following what you're asking here. If you're asking can you add a bookmark in your browser to an internal page of the site, then the answer is ... sure thing! If you mean something else, perhaps if you're more specific with the question I'll get it and try to give a better answer.

Glad you found the old thread helpful.

Well, I'm not all that puter savvy about all you said.
Of course you know that pretty well by now.
But yes, my guess is it'll go in my favorites , on my Explorer page with my Google search engine. It pops right in and when its needed, the page pops right out. Just a simple left click.

A great resource for definitions of obscure "alternative" terms, including acronyms is urbandictionary.com. In fact, it's not a bad place to kill a little time in general if language, especially foul language is your thing.

BLW (1 entry) and SFL (8 entries) appear, but without knowing the context, it's hard to say whether they're what you're looking for.

Gonzo equals "what you see is what you get" sortof. Everybody does their thing as they see fit. Not even sure there is a script. Greatest Gonzo master ever is Patrick Collins, the force behind Elegant Angel studios, of Bottom Dweller/Buttwoman fame. Fantastic director!

Technically it means porn where the cameraman--who is also usually the director as he is implied to be the only crewmember there--interacts in the 'story' and the action, much like gonzo journalism where the term came from. Think of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, being the near-total nutjob that he was (which I think is a good thing, by the way), who interacted with most of the subjects in his stories.

Unfortunately you are also right in that it is in most of today's porn and being executed rather poorly by some of the bigger douchebags around. Pretty much any video where the talent acknowledges and interacts with the camera and its operator can be loosely defined as gonzo. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hardcore Commie works." - Gen. Jack D. Rippper, Dr. Stranglove

Thanks, turboshaft, I really wasn't sure if my definition was right or not. Your last sentence makes things clearer. Thanks.
