Biosignal Lost, an alert all flagged-up CP officers receive when another unit dies.
Willard Industries, a pro-Union faction that performs (performed?) scientific endeavors and R&D (research and development) to create unique Union products and whatnot.
Also, you should probably add to QZRP's definition that it was a continuation of FTRP's second interation on Lemonpunch.

By the way, are this only for roleplay abbreviations or you want slang from other gamemodes too?

I got a couple from zombie survival, but they are not technically all abbreviations:

Cading = Building a barricade
Cade = Barricade made out of nailed props
Shitcade = A badly designed barricade, often employing unnailed props
Skycade = A sort of "ladder" made out of props in order to reach elevated part of the maps, may or may not be punishable depending on the server rules
Ars (Arsenal crate) = item needed to purchase weapons and ammunitions
Res (Resupply box) = item from which you can aquire ammunitions
obj (map prefix, e.g. zs_obj_map) = A type of maps in which humans have to complete a certain number of objectives in order to win
