Per discussion with board@, remove inappropriate, hostile acronyms.

This reverts changes by rodent@ made without discussion and without
acknowledgement of objections. Board's commit guidelines include
that changes that could possibly cause anyone to object should be
discussed, and there have been multiple objections publicly and
privately throughout the week.

This also removes some other entries that have been here for some
time that do not belong. The acronyms file is not Urban Dictionary.
Nobody should expect to see any of these in use around the NetBSD
community, so there is no need to document them here. If you want
Urban Dictionary, you know where to find it.

Please run any further changes by dholland@, the games maintainer.

This commit log is rated PG-13.

Remove MDMA.

Apparently, "LJBF" is a very commonly used slang acronym; but not the
street name for ecstasy. If you frequest #teenchat, that is.

For some time I learned that people often automatically go to wtf(6)
when stumbling upon a new acronym, and that was also indicated by
the additions to the acronyms file in the CVS log. The very initial
commit does not provide any guidelines for this file, and I honestly
think that we should step outside the computer chat bubble and try
to fill up this file with terms used *online* elsewhere.
