if you needed an excuse as to why you can't come in to work and need a low key abbreviation that not many know of, you would say ''I'm AFK'' and they would say ''Oh okay, take care'' not knowing what that actually means.

Well it can mean two things, it could mean Away From Keyboard Or Always Keep fighting. The most common definition of AFK is Away From Keyboard. Away From Keyboard is used by gamers of Minecraft, Roblox, and more. You use it when you are playing a game and you need to do something away from the game so you put AFK or the most common to tell that you are leaving is BRB. (Be Right Back)( It’s more of an action word) Always Keep fighting. Always Keep fighting is suicide prevention campaign made by Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Misha Collins.
