If you say something like gtg and brb to your mates in a chat room, and you go off to help your parents, this may be the beginning of your longish afk shift.

Get the Afk shiftmug. "AFK" means Away From Keyboard. Away From the Keyboard means you will not be playing/working on the moment. It's a different way of saying you're going somewhere for a few minutes.

Get the AFKmug. AFK pain refers to the pain caused by feeling missing out the latest YouTube videos whilst you've been unable to watch YouTube for extended periods of time. AFK pain feels even more intense as you go to bed whilst having not watched YouTube during the day, which is as unpleasant as going to bed whilst being hungry. AFK pain is more commonly experienced by persons who have subscribed to lots of YouTube channels in a row (i.e. 600+ channels) compared to those who subscribe to few to no YouTube channels.
After a long day of the abstinence of YouTube due to losing arguments with my parents, I felt that serious AFK pain creeping in as I lay in bed, knowing I had missed out on all the latest uploads.

Get the AFKmug. 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.
