Here's a summary of an exchange from The Pirate Bay trial back in 2009, from https://gizmodo.com/pirate-bay-trial-watch-day-5-omg-is-this... :

> • The prosecutor knows the secret code for talking on the internets! "When did you meet [Gottfrid] for the first time IRL?" The judge asks, "IRL?" The prosecutor, being with it, coolly informs the judge it means "in real life," sucka.

> • Oh snap, maybe he doesn't! The Pirate Bay's Peter responds, "We do not use the expression IRL." No, everything is in real life. We use AFK—away from keyboard." This makes for a sad prosecutor: "It seems I am a little bit out of date."

Yes, the same point made 14 years ago!
