I've been reading through articles on here for a while and people will say something like " female f1" or something similar. What does that mean?

The F1 and so on terms refer to the offspring of wild caught parents.

FO= wild
F1= offspring of wild parents

Thanks. Is f0 and f1 the only two or are there other abbreviations and such?

When a fish is refered to as F1 that tells you the fish is the first generation of fish from after wild cought parents (F0).

So there is a large pond s couple hours outside of town in the middle of nowhere and I found it and its full of cichlids. They're pretty much all convicts and there are other fish like plattus I think. But they're big. Anyways, those convicts have multiplied into the thousands so they e been there for some time. I caught a couple and have them in my tank. Would this eve considered f0 since technically I caught them in the wild? Or would they be f1 since they aren't native and had to have been released there originally by somebody?

these fish are so inbred by now I wouldn't even give an F classification.
yes, there is F2, F3, etc.

Read this thread about the subject, we just discussed this last week. The fish in the pond aren't exactly the same thing as far as being wild per se however you will get a good understanding of how open to interpertation this whole subject is. So there is no simple answer to your question.

Ha ha,that's a nice can of worms as its all in the interpretation....While technically they can be considered wild caught,if the pond is not man made....
