When using a custom classdict to implement a DSL or use in the body of a class

Can I make a plea that posters to this (and other) lists do not
introduce acronyms, abbreviations or jargon that are not commonly used
Python terminology and may not be familiar to everyone who reads them?
(I say "_*introduce*_". I have no problem with a term explained in one
post being used without explanation in subsequent posts in the same
thread. If I can't be bothered to read the whole thread, that's my
problem.)
Googling
DSL
Wikipedia offers
Digital Subscriber Line
Damn Small Linux, a very small Linux distribution
Danish Sign Language
Definitive software library
Design Science License, a copyleft license for intellectual property
Diagnostic Systems Laboratories, a company now part of Beckman-Coulter
Dictionary of the Scots Language
Domain-specific language, a specialized computer language
Dominican Summer League of baseball
Artists signed to Ed Banger Records
Deutsche Schule Lagos, or the German School Lagos
I don't know which, if any, of these is the OP's intended meaning (my
best guess is Domain-specific language, but that's all it is - a guess).
I (and no doubt others) am less likely to engage with a thread if I have
to spend more time than necessary trying to understand it.
Thanks
