IRL



IRL

An abbreviation for "in real life," indicating the existence or qualities of someone or something in reality, specifically as opposed to online. We’ve been texting, and he seems nice enough, but I just don't know what he's like IRL. The picture doesn't do it justice—her gown was absolutely gorgeous IRL.
