Default Help a newbie

I just found this site and am confused by all of the acronyms around here. Can someone please explain the most popular ones?

List some that you are curious about. I'll guess on a few for you...

BS = basic strategy
KO = knock-out blackjack (method of card counting)
BJ = blackjack
AP = advantage player
EV = expected value
HE = house edge

good luck

DAS=double after split

Yes. Thanks for the thread. I'm new to the boards but not to playing, and I was easily getting lost not knowing what certain things are. Someone needs to take notes on all the common acronyms and post a sticky. Once again for all the popular counting systems, just for those people who are trying to expand their knowledge of the game.
