I'd really hope most HN users who are unfamiliar with common internet slang (NEET) or economic measures (GINI) would be smart enough to use their preferred search engine to fill in the blanks.

It hurts the efficiency of discussion. You write a post that 100+ people will read many of them not immediately knowing what some of those are. You may have saved 5 seconds typing abbreviations, but wasted quite a few minutes of their time in aggregate.
P.S.
NEET (from urban dictionary):
> This is a term used in the field of education. The acronym stands for "Not in Education, Employment or Training" but young people have started to use it as a term for bums/layabouts with no future.
GINI is a way to measure value of some definition of inequality.
