Breaking the Poker Code

The other day, I was reading about poker, and I came across a sentence something like this:

So there I was at the final table of a MTT, with Big Slick UTG, and I'm thinking, should I limp or go all-in?

Now while I understand what that sentence means, I remember when a statement like that would seem to be written in a strange, secret code. Luckily, while poker players like to use slang and abbreviations, it's easy and intuitive to pick up most of it.
