ASL stands for "Age/Sex/Location". Previously, on the Internet, ASL was a popular question used to obtain basic information about the interlocutor. The question "ASL?" was often encountered in chats, forums, or messengers. This format originated in English-speaking chats, but over time it was also adapted into Ukrainian (the gamer variant - LVL is also used for age).
Age
Indicates the age of the interlocutor, for example: "17/F" meant that the interlocutor is 17 years old and she is female.
Sex
Indicates the sex of the interlocutor, for example: "25/M" means that the interlocutor is 25 years old and he is male.
Location
Indicates the location of the interlocutor, for example: "30/F/Kyiv" means that the interlocutor is 30 years old, she is female, and lives in Kyiv.
Currently, the ASL question has lost popularity, and its use is not as common. This is related to changes in the way people communicate online and a growing awareness of privacy and security on the internet.
Some thematic forums (mostly anonymous) still use the ASL format to provide more context to the story.
