AFK or Away From Keyboard is simply a popular shortening among gamers, However on the also popular IRC Chat. <Zanthis(ALE)> originally started the AFK Tornado craze when he originally set his status as this due to an actual Tornado in 2005. I believe the original quote is posted on Bash.org.

I hope this little background history was helpful, for those Newfags out there its a very "you had to be there moment" type situation.

Aug 11 Word of the Day
A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.

Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.
"My boyfriend has a total case of brain worms. He told me the cat was bugged so the Feds could listen in on us having sex..."

or

"You totally stumbled over that entire sentence. Can't speak English all of a sudden? What, do you have brain worms?"
