  • Brevity is the key to Internet. Jargon, abbreviations and emoticons have increased the speed at which we can get our points across.

    Definition

    When someone asks you, "asl?" they are asking your age, sex and location.

    Benefits

    You can use the term to decide if someone is age-appropriate to talk to.

    Usage

    Generally, a person entering a chat room will ask the whole room their asl to gauge whether there is anyone they'd like to talk to in the room.

    Deviations

    "ASL," "asl," "as&l" and "a/s/l" all mean the same thing.

    Warnings

    Never give personal information online. Age, sex and location are fine as long as you specify an area rather than a specific city or neighborhood.
