TEC= Thermal Eletric cooling.
LOC= Long open can( Red diode)

Google is your friend.
I understand its hard to keep up with all this stuff if your new to the Interwebz

TEC= thermoelectric cooling (cooling system for lasers)
LOC= long open can (diode type)
mW= milliwatt (measure of power)
mA= milliamps (measure of current)
nm= nanometers (measure of wavelength)
PHR/PHR-803T= blu-ray diode (405nm)
4x/6x= blu-ray diodes (stronger than PHR's)
Opto= Optotronics (good laser company)
LG= Laserglow (good laser company)
Nova= Novalasers (good laser company)
WL= Wickedlasers (bad laser company)
TL= Techlasers (Wickedlasers' alias, bad)
DX= Dealextreme (cheap Chinese stuff, inc. lasers)
KD= like DX (more cheap Chinese stuff)
LC= Laser Community (WL's crap forum, full of censorship)
PL= Photon Lexicon (laser forum)
SF= Spectra Forum (laser forum)
LE= Laser Enthusiast (laser forum, harsh rivalry with c0ldshadow)
CPF= Candle Power Forums (flashlight forum, with a lasers section)

I think that covers a lot of it. Anything else?

The funny thing is, you don't know whether you are actually typing "the" or a swear word...like when someone says "the you!", it always makes me wonder whether they actually typed out the swear word. Probably.

Yes:

GB = ? What it mean GB diodes?
Bare Diode = what they mean?

Also, can you post KD website? Is the same as DX?

aha.... GB = sleds are considered "Defected" and only the diodes and a few optics are good?

GB = Group Buy (where a number of members pool their money together to buy from a wholesaler)

While there have been some group buys for "defective sleds", really anything can be bought in a group.
