AFK (Armadillos are Fucking my Keyboard)

AFK (different from the other common use, Away From Keyboard) stands for Armadillos are Fucking my Keyboard. It is commonly used as an exclamation of excitement, anger, sadness, or any other strong emotion. The term was coined in the wake of the 2000s by a group of small time hackers and petty criminals from the suburbs of Detroit, the Killsmiths. They would leave the abbreviation or fill phrase on the homescreen of a website after committing a cyber attack against it. The A and K are often switched out for a number of other terms, including but not limited to:

Angels, Anti-Gravity Clocks, Amish settlers, Anguished sailors, Killsmith, Krispy Kreme, Kremlin, Keytar, or others.
“Yoo Travis! Ready for the game this Sunday?”
You know it! AFK (Armadillos are Fucking my Keyboard) I’m so excited!”

“Travis, I want a divorce.”
“Sandra? What do you mean?”
“You are always off at your games, you never make time to hang out with me or our children anymore.”
“AFK! That’s a bummer.”
