Go right ahead!
I tried checking briefly to see instances of how often 'AFOL' was used to mean
'Adult Friend Of Lego' (because I've seen it said that it can mean either),
however I could only find about 5 occurances of it being used that way on RTL or
Lugnet. Looks like the misconception of it meaning "Friend" probably comes from
the now-less-often-used "LF" or "NLF" ("Lego Friend" or "Non-Lego Friend").
