意味

Stepping out of the bath to reply to a message — a portmanteau of furo (bath) and ridatsu (leaving).

A playful abbreviation combining 風呂 (furo, 'bath') and 離脱 (ridatsu, 'withdrawal/leaving'). Used in text messages to explain why you're briefly leaving or returning — you got out of the bath to reply. It became a viral term among teens in the mid-2010s, showcasing the Japanese love of creative wordplay and abbreviations. The fact that it sounds like 'Florida' adds to the humor.
