'Kay, netspeak question. "IIRC"--I've seen it several times and can't figure it out from context. What's it mean?

Math department fed me and gave me ice cream. The firstyears were annoying, but I think they were Quad bunnies. *ducks*

I had to ask myself. Means "If I recall correctly".
The one that really stumped me was "AFK" but I finally asked about that one too.

AFK? Tantalizing hint but no explanation??? "After First Koming", perhaps? "Ambulance Firstaid Kit"? "Arguing Fuzzy Kangaroos"? "Air Force Klingons"?

I think "Air Force Klingons" would have to be my favorite of the above.

It's "Away from keyboard".

Fear my mad netspeak skillz.

Or, "If I Remember Correctly" take your pick. Silly net slang.
"TTFN" baffled me for a long time until I figured out it was "ta-ta for now" hahaha.

Try everything2.com. It's like the OED of random colloquialisms, abbreviations...everything that should be in real dictionaries, but isn't.
