An acronym. :-)

http://info.astrian.net/jargon/terms/y/YMMV.html - Your mileage may vary.

There are a million of them. Sometimes, instead of asking, it is better
to RTFM (http://info.astrian.net/jargon/terms/r/RTFM.html) , or to STFW
(http://info.astrian.net/jargon/terms/s/STFW.html).

Try http://info.astrian.net/jargon/ for looking this sort of thing
up. Googling "acronym", "jargon" brought this up as the first hit.
