On Another Window.

Sometimes, the word AFK is overused too much. Kids use that word even they are not away from the keyboard, instead they're on another window.
Mike: AFK!

Josh: Ok.

Mike: Back!

Josh: What were you doing?

Mike: Watching porn on another window.

Josh: You mean you're OAW not AFK...

Mike: Whatever! Same thing!

Known by londoners, mainly from areas of West Drayton, Acton and Whopping, and PE teachers. OAWHY can be used as an alternative of Oy, or when someone wants to emphasise their non-existant superiority to everyone else. Shouting Oawhy in maths lessons can lead to disruptions and a happy class, albeit with the teacher looking like more of a slug. OAWHY can be used in all atmospheres, but is suited to PE fields in Acton, best.
