To define abbreviations, use the ab[breviate] command.
Examples:
:ab rtfm read the fine manual - Whenever you type 'rtfm' followed by a <space> (or <esc> or <cr>) vim
will expand this to 'read the fine manual'.
:ab - list all defined abbreviations
:una[bbreviate] rtfm - remove 'rtfm' from the list of abbreviations
:abc[lear] - remove all abbreviations
NB: To avoid expansion in insert mode, type CTRL-V after the last character of the abbreviation.
For a detailed description of the ab[breviate] command and some more examples refer to
