Some of these acronyms are specific to BGP. You could work in networking for years and not encounter some of them, especially if you aren't running BGP.
As far as "bibles" go, however, Halabi's _Internet Routing Architectures_ is the BGP variant.
TCP/IP Illustrated might not mention CIDR since it was still pretty new when those books were written. My copies haven't been opened in years so I can't be sure.
If you've performed any subnetting in the last 15 years or so, however, I fully expect that you have encountered CIDR.
