General terms from tl forums (credit to Chill)

All-in - A one-time attack. If this attack does not kill the opponent, you have lost.

Build Order / BO - The order and timing at which buildings are made at the start of the game.

Cheese - Difficult to define. Generally a strategy that will immediately result in a loss if scouted or defended. Examples are proxy buildings and Cannon rushes.

Choke - An area of terrain with a small passage, such as a ramp, that is easier to defend than attack. Often the attacker needs many more units than the defender to break through a choke.

Cliffing - Dropping units on the high ground behind an expansion to deny mining. Done with ranged units or buildings; typically Siege Tanks, Cannons or Lurkers.

Contain – An enemy blockade at a choke point, generally outside of your natural, which prevents you from moving out. Can be made up of any units, but is typically made up of highly defensive units, such as Siege Tanks, Lurkers, or Cannons.

Dancing – Running units away during cooldown, firing, and then running again. Repeat. Also involves rotating damaged units to the back to spread damage. Most common with Hydralisks and Dragoons.

Doom Drop - A massive drop. Generally done by Zergs.

Expansion / Expo - A base constructed at another resource location other than your main base.

Foreigner - Non-Korean.

Gas Steal - Building on an opponent's Vespene Gas geyser so that his mining of gas is delayed.

Macro – Unit production rate and expansion.

Maxed - Being at 200/200 supply.

Micro – Unit control.

Min Only - An expansion without Vespene gas.

Natural – Your closest/first expansion.

Powering - Building workers and expansions, rather than fighting units, with the intention of having faster production later.

Proxy – Building a building outside your main base, generally closer to your opponent to help execute a rush quicker, or to conceal a certain tactic or strategy.

Second Natural – Your second closest expansion.

Stacking - Clumping air units on top of one another so their numbers are disguised and they are easier to control.

Teching - Researching new technology or building advanced buildings which are prerequisites for new units or buildings.

Turtle - A defensive player who rarely leaves his base. Can be used as a verb (Turtling) to describe an extremely defensive playing style.

protoss terms (tonight is PvP)

goon = dragoon - the spiderlike tanks
zealot - foot/melee units
ht = high templar - special units (they make the psi storms)
dt = dark templar - special units (cloaked + high dmg)
archon = formed by 2 ht's - powerful, recognized by the blue glow + lightning-gun-style-attack
storm = psionic storm - high damage ability of the dt's
nexus = command center

might add more
actually high templar cast psi storm, dark templar are cloaked melee units :x

I've been watching it for months and I only started playing like 2 days ago, it's undeniably one of the most balanced, skilled and interesting video games ever released.
