AFK
adjective; acronym
Away From Keyboard; usually used to described an idle player within an online game. I asked some of my friends who have been veterans of online gaming what the acronym (I knew it had to be an acronym) stood for. It was a way to express that a certain player was Away From Keyboard. Basically, afk is a shorter method of saying that the person is idle.
