Age/sex/location
When someone types ‘A/S/L‘, they are asking for your age, sex, and location. This term is often seen in online chat rooms or text messages, usually between strangers or new acquaintances.
‘A/S/L‘ came about in the late 90s. It’s not known who first used it, but it got popular as more people started chatting with strangers online. Back then, video chats and sharing pictures were not common, so users would ask each other’s A/S/L to get a sense of who they were talking to.
People generally ask ‘A/S/L‘ as a single question, like “A/S/L?”, or within a sentence, such as “Could you tell me your A/S/L?”. However, because there are people who might misuse this information, it’s a good idea to be careful when responding to an A/S/L request.
Example for using ‘A/S/L’ in a conversation
Hey! Long time no chat! How have you been? 😄
Hey! I’ve been good, thanks! How about you? 😊
I’m doing well too! By the way, A/S/L? 😅
Haha! A/S/L? I’m 25/Female/California. What about you? 🤔
