Definition

Away From Keyboard - the universal internet excuse for not responding, whether you're actually making a sandwich, pretending to be productive, or just ignoring someone. It's the digital equivalent of putting up a "Be Back in 5" sign, except everyone knows you're probably just scrolling on your phone.

Example Usage

Sorry I didn't respond to your messages, I was afk for like 3 hours dealing with actual life stuff.
