[Tonnyjaction]

I’ve seen people use "ASL" in text messages and online chats, but I’m not exactly sure what it stands for. Does it have a specific meaning in texting or social media? Can someone explain what "ASL" usually means and how it's used in conversations?

ASL in text usually stands for "Age, Sex, Location" and is commonly used in online chats to ask someone's basic details. It can also mean American Sign Language, depending on the context in which it’s used.

In texting, ASL stands for “Age, Sex, Location.” It’s commonly used to ask someone for basic personal information, especially when chatting with new people online, helping to quickly get to know someone’s age, gender, and where they’re from.
