How to Sign "What Does ASL Mean in Slang" in American Sign Language (ASL)

ASL means "age/sex/location" in internet slang. This abbreviation became popular in chat rooms and instant messaging during the 1990s when people wanted a fast and simple way to learn basic details about their online chat partners. ASL is not used much anymore. The letters ASL have nothing to do with American Sign Language, even though they look the same. These days, many young people on social media use "asl" to mean "as hell" when they're talking casually online.
