Decoded: What IRL means and how to use it
A lot of our time is spent on the Internet, and thanks to Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, it's easier than ever before to have access to our favorite celebrities, musicians, and Internet personalities. All this access allows us to know what they've eaten for brunch, which designer they sported today, and what they are currently doing.
But every now and then we run into celebrities or Internet stars in real life doing ordinary things just like ordinary people -- the perfect opportunity to use IRL.
Just saw the incredible Molly Bair running in my neighborhood. So striking IRL! Love her 👽 look.

Bradley Cooper can't get away from making his TV life turn into real life.
We all agree that Bradley Cooper dating an "Irina" IRL means he is still secretly obsessed with #Alias, right? pic.twitter.com/8wAqPFw6fI

IRL can apply to bringing your thoughts, dreams, diary entries, etc. into the real world too.

Or sometimes ... Internet reality is better than IRL.
Don't be discouraged if you have more Internet friends than IRL friends. My Internet friends are the nicest people that I have ever met. <3

Don't know how to help you out there buddy.
my gf cares more about liking her fb profile picture with her new hair style than actually telling her IRL that I like her new hair style
