Is “AF” Even A Real Word? – Jargonology

Posted by

“AF”—known on social media as the abbreviation of “As F*ck,” became a huge trend in the world of internet slang. Acronyms and abbreviations are used on social media all the time, mostly to get a point across in fewer characters.

We wanted to find out if it should be considered a word all on its own, so we asked someone who compiles dictionaries if the famed abbreviation, “AF,” could actually became a word.

In 2011, Naghmeh Farzaneh left her home in Iran to study abroad in the United States. When she first arrived, a simple exchange—like selecting ingredients in line at a fast food restaurant—could quickly become an overwhelming situation. During these difficult times, Farzaneh would take comfort in thinking about a piece of wisdom her mother shared while planting geraniums. In Scent of Geranium, Naghmeh Farzaneh brings watercolors to life in a beautiful animation that highlights her experience as an immigrant.

About The Story of Us With Morgan Freeman:
From the award-winning team behind The Story of God with Morgan Freeman comes the new six-part series, The Story of Us with Morgan Freeman. At a time when events seem to be driving cultures apart and splintering our own, Morgan Freeman goes on a global journey to understand how human culture has taken so many remarkable forms. At the root of his quest is a drive to uncover the fundamental forces that keep our societies together, while revealing the common humanity that lies inside each one of us. Vast in his scope of inquiry yet with an intimate approach to each subject, Freeman meets people from all over the globe to explore the strength of belief, the thirst for power, how love shapes us, the role conflict plays in our lives, the spirit of rebellion and the concept of freedom.
