AAK

Beginner 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

The "alive and kicking" phrase dates back to at least the early-19th century when it referred to people actually being able to kick as a sign that they were still alive. AAK was eventually adopted as an acronym for the phrase in the late-1990s and 2000s as Internet lingo and texting became more commonplace.
