IRL this is an abbreviation of Internet slang that means "In Real Life". It is used to separate virtual or online activities from the real world or offline life.
When people use the term IRL, they usually point to the fact that something is happening or important outside of virtual space. It can refer to meetings, events, interactions with people, or any other real action.
For example:
- "We've been on the internet for a long time, but we recently met the IRL."
- "I found a chat with him in an online game and I want to meet him IRL."
Thus, the use of the abbreviation IRL helps to separate the virtual world from real life and shows that the situation or activity under discussion takes place outside the digital space.
IRL gives a person an understanding of the context of exactly where events take place.
