The Quick Answer

AFAIAA means "As Far As I Am Aware."

More Observations...

The abbreviation AFAIAA is used when the sender wishes to indicate that they are not completely sure of the statement that they are making, but believe it be true. However, it is often used when the speaker is lying and wishes to be able to deny the lie if challenged. AFAIAA is a phrase regularly used when the speaker may later want to distance themselves from what was said. Of note, AFAIAA may also be written as AFAIA (As Far As I'm Aware). AFAIAA is very similar to AFAIK (As Far As I Know) and TTBOMK (To The Best Of My Knowledge).

An Academic Look at AFAIAA

AFAIAA is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Aay Eff Aay Eye Aay Aay), but as this is harder to say than "As far as I am aware," it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation AFAIAA is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech.

What Did We Say before Texting and Social Media?
