Literally, "I ain't dead." A declaration of
one's
alive status, often used by bloggers and members of online communities who haven't been - or won't be - heard from for a while.
Originated in the comic fantasy "Discworld" books by Terry Pratchett, in which elderly witch Granny Weatherwax wears a scrawled "I ATEN'T DED" sign while having out-of-body experiences, to prevent passersby from getting the wrong idea and burying her.
