IRC

IRC, or internet relay chat. Connects aliented intellectuals via a scrolling text based medium, where they lurk in silence.

"I'm gonna go try to get some attention on IRC"


IRL

In Real Life - Something people who have such a thing say on the Internet to irritate those of us who do not. These three letters send the average geek loner into a nostalgic flashback of better times in their childhood.

"I'm talking about my friends IRL not you, loser."

"I wish I could attract members of the opposite sex IRL."

"Do you think we'll ever meet IRL?"
