New to 2+2

Hey guys. I'm a poker playing college student. I play the Party Poker $10 SNGs usually, since i have a limited bankroll. I easily beat the $5 tables, so i've taken the "leap" to $10+1. I've been reading the forums for the last week, but there are some terms i don't understand. Off the top of my head i cant think of them, but if anyone has a basic list, that would be great. (I understand pot odds, implied odds and all those ideas, its mostly the abbreviated things that confuse me.)

Thanks in advance.

ROI = return on investment
ITM = in the money
OOTM = out of the money
vig = vigorish - the entry fee you pay

no more that come off the top of my head
