Try for example:

;;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

;; (kill-all-abbrevs)
(let ((write '(
               ("lex"    ";;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-")
               ("sld"    "sdl")
               ("wierd"  "weird")
               )))
  (define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table write) )

You can do more things with abbrevs, including executing
functions - but it seems I did something wrong this time as
this doesn't work ...

(defun sh-mode-abbrev-f ()
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (insert "#! /bin/zsh\n")
  (sh-mode) )

(define-abbrev global-abbrev-table "zshbang" t #'sh-mode-abbrev-f)
