Terms and Shorthand

I dropped the game a few years ago and recently came back. It seems there are many terms and shorthands that I am not familiar with now. Like Ramping- which I still dunno the meaning of. (maybe they were used for a long time in tournament and shop settings? But all I did was casual play in home till now.) Anyways, is there a dictionary or something of that nature I can learn these from faster?

This is a pretty good list. The Magic wiki is also a good place to look up the meaning of rules and keywords, as well as catch up on lore.
Ramp, so you know, is anything related to mana acceleration. Things like Sol Ring , Llanowar Elves , or Cultivate would be ramp cards; a deck that relies on them could be considered a ramp deck. I’d say it’s most common for Ramp to only include long-term mana acceleration, not fast mana like Dark Ritual (but that’s open to some debate).
