Default Acronyms

I see a lot of posts with acronyms and I don't know what they mean.
What does WOT and HT stand for? I am sure there are other acronyms so if you can think of any, please post them so I know what they mean.
By the way, I went to two colleges: South Hampton Institute of Technology and
Franklin University of Central Kansas. Can you guess what the acronym is for those two outstanding colleges?

CC = Cubic Centimeters, refers to the displacement of the engine

CVT = Continuously variable transmission. As engine speed increases the gear ration does too. Similar to an automatic transmission.

24:1, 32:1, 100:1 = nominal oil to fuel mix ratios. The larger number refers to the fuel.
