Actually, "IAWYC but X" would make a perfectly fine idiom for LW.
IAWYC but I worry about jargon creating undue barriers to entry. One solution implemented in some jargon-ridden communities is for the community software to automatically display or link to an explanation of the term when it appears in a comment or post.
For an example, see: http://www.kurzweilai.net/meme/frame.html?main=memelist.html?m=1%23696
Then click to an article.
Nitpick: "IAWTC" is standard.
On a related note, MarkDown allows you to append a 'title' attribute to your link by putting it in quotes after the URL - (http://thomblake.com "Thom Blake's Website") gives you my website, which makes a tooltip pop up on most browsers.
