AFK

AFK is an acronym for the phrase "away from keyboard". Away from keyboard means, quite literally, that a player is going to be away from their computer and not available for a period of time. This phrase is used when a player will be away for both short and long durations: a player might say "AFK" when they are going to get a drink, or alternatively when they are leaving their computer to visit the shops. Usually, however, it will be used when a player is away for less than 20 minutes as Roblox will disconnect players who aren't active for 20 minutes.

Example Uses

"My brother wants help with something, I'm going AFK!"

"Mmmm.. is that dinner I smell? I'll be AFK for a while!"
