AFK
Significado: Away From Keyboard — indicating you're temporarily stepping away from your device.
AFK originated in gaming and chat rooms to let people know you're temporarily unavailable. It's evolved beyond its literal meaning — people use it even on mobile devices where there's no keyboard. It can also be used humorously to describe being out of touch or disconnected from online activity.
