Talk:IRL

Adjective?

It may be worth noting that IRL is fairly frequently used as an adjective, e.g. "my IRL friends", even though the phrase "in real life" would never be used in such a position. 86.131.102.228 13:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

• This is the attributive use of a noun as an adjective. It doesn't get a separate definition. SemperBlotto 14:25, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

  But, as far as I can see, IRL isn't a noun. (RL, real life, might be.) If anything, it's used adverbially. "I wish you were here IRL" (physically / actually). 86.131.102.228 16:56, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
