An acronym for 'In Real Life' that is popular on Reddit and other social media websites. A noun typically precedes it in a phrase (e.g., me IRL) used to caption an image or video intended to represent the mental or physical state of the poster. The phrase is also often copied and used humorously thus creating a meme.
