AFF
AFF: abbreviation for "Away for Flow", which indicates that the person is being in the zone, thus, shouldn't be disturbed (hence the "away").
In this era of remote working where a coworker does not necessarily know the physical state of another coworker, this abbreviation can be used to politely hang/reject a conversation (or chat) when the person is being focused (i.e "AFF, will reply later").
About flow: "flow, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity." (Wikipedia, at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology))

Short for "affirmative" and use much like "yes" or "indeed". This primarily from the Battletech universe (and the Mech Warrior games) where Clanners use it. It's still used by fans, though use is dying out.
