I'm sure there's a collection somewhere, but I don't know where.  Here
are some of the common ones:

AFAIK -- as far as I know
IMO -- in my opinion
IMHO -- in my humble opinion (and variations like "... not-so-humble
...")
IIRC -- (may be) if I recall correctly
FWIW -- for what it's worth
BTW -- by the way
IANAL -- I am not a lawyer

Happy hunting,

craig
