AFOAF = A friend of a friend?

That's a rather obscure acronym.

"FOAF" is well-known, http://www.foaf-project.org/
Is that not code, for me?
I believe you're thinking of SWIM, or "Someone who isn't me," which is apparently used to avoid self-incrimination
Its literally just to protect privacy of someone close, nothing more. Shouldn't be interesting anyways but you never know how far doxxers will go.
