This is a good question -- as a relative newbie to the community, I've often regretted that this is the standard acronym. It's pronunciation is unclear; I've heard old AFOLs say anything from "A.F.O.L." (i.e. just spelling it) to "A-full" (long (...) (21 years ago, 25-May-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

Hi, Yes, of course I know _what_ an AFOL is. But: Who created this term? When? And where? The r.t.l. FAQ does not mention the term (and I never read it "back then", IIRC), so it could be newer. Other FAQs only give "AFOL=Adult Fan Of LEGO". Any (...) (21 years ago, 25-May-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)
