Lima Lima Matt Foxtrot 

Originally military speak, translating directly as “LLMF,” this became an acronym for “Little Lost Mother F**ker.” It was later adopted by the tech world to refer to somebody (usually non-technical) who is in way over their head.
“We tried showing the boss how to use the new database, but he couldn’t even follow instructions well enough to get through the first two screens. After that, it was just Lima Lima Matt Foxtrot the whole way.”

Lima Oscar Lima 

Phonetic Alphabet acronym for "Laugh Out Loud" (LOL). An example of it's use is Corki, the League of Legends champion, who says it as a joke. In that particular case, the joke can also be used to mean League of Legends (LoL).
Person 1: Hey, when I play Corki, and press Ctrl+1, he says : Lima Oscar Lima. Is that supposed to be a joke ?
Person 2: Just take the first letter of each word he says and you'll understand.
Person 1: (Thinks for a moment):.....Ahhh, I see what you did there Rito!

Lima syndrome 

Unlike Stockholm syndrome, where hostages develop sympathy for their abductor, Lima syndrome is the result of the abductor / kidnapper sympathizing with his hostages.

Occurred in the Japanese Embassy hostage crisis of 1996, when members of a militant movement took hostage hundreds of people attending a party in the official residence of Japan's ambassador to Peru. Within a few days, they set free most of the hostages, including the most valuable ones.
In The World is Not Enough, James Bond thinks Electra King (Sophie Marceau) has Stockholm Syndrome for her kidnapper / lover Renard (Robert Carlyle). However, it turns out that Renard really had Lima Syndrome, and loved Electra deeply.
