AFK-tolerant environment

AFK-tolerant environments are the environments where AFK moments are more normalized (read: occurring more common and feeling less painful). For example, K-12 school campuses require students to collect smartphones during school hours while those having excessive screen time per day will get an eye. This policy is akcually meant to create conducive learning environments, even though there are common misconception among gamers and YouTube addict that this policy is meant to "condition" students to inevitable AFK moments that are going to happen to them during the rest of their young lives, even after high school graduation.

The school’s strict smartphone policy created an AFK-tolerant environment, helping students adapt to being offline during class, despite some kids grumbling about missing their favorite YouTube channels.

Target-rich environment

A situation that would normally fit the word "surrounded", however the party that is surrounded has some form of superior weapons system that would not have an issue with defeating all attacking parties at once, turning an undesirable situation into an environment rich with potential targets- hence the term, 'target-rich environment'.

Also occasionally used sarcastically to refer to being in a firefight or otherwise surrounded by hostile forces.

"This ain't an ambush, we have a goddamn tank- it's a target-rich environment. Fire at will."

(If used sarcastically) "I really don't care about the mission, I'm just trying to get out of this target-rich environment before some jackass blows my head clean off."
