- Internet chat room acronym for "As Far As I Know"

WORD ORIGIN

AFAIK is but one of the numerous acronyms to grow out of Internet chat room and e-mail services over the years. In this impatient and hurry-up environment, people are always looking for short cuts, taking the path of least resistance.

Some are very short, like B4 (before) and CU (see you). Some are so long, like AWGTHTGTATA (are we going to have to go through this all over again?), that it takes longer to type in the acronym than typing the complete words.

Other acronyms, like WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), breed variations such as WYSBYGI (What You See Before You Get It), WYGIWYPF (What You Get Is What You Pay For) or WYTYSYDG (What You Thought You Saw, You Didn't Get).

Then there are some that are downright funny, PnP (Plug and Pray) and some that simply leave you shaking your head wondering what you just read: TSJD (Texas Size Jelly Doughnut).
