Note
A status signal more than a description: it tells others in a chat or game that someone has stepped away and is idle for now. It usually comes after a verb, as in go AFK or be AFK, much as away does in the full phrase. It belongs to gaming, military and internet usage, and as an initialism it is spoken letter by letter, A-F-K.
