AP

A game statistic used to calculate damage dealt by a weapon or offensive armor item; commonly contributed to by other statistics, such as agility.

AP means Associated Press. It is a popular acronym for the nonprofit news agency.

AP was founded in 1846 and is headquartered in New York City. The news agency serves over 120 countries and contributes international, US, health, entertainment, and sports news stories.

An acronym that represents the amount of money owed by a company to its suppliers for items or services; shown as a liability on a company's balance sheet; often paid when the company receives the invoice, matches it to the packing slip and purchase order, and verifies that everything is in order.

Parents, pediatricians, and childcare specialists may use AP as shorthand for "attachment parenting." This set of infant parenting methods promotes empathy, responsiveness, and lots of parent-child physical contact.

Pediatrician William Sears coined the term attachment parenting in 1985. As he and his wife, registered nurse Martha Sears, began to share their ideas about attachment parenting with others, they began referring to the new paradigm as AP.

Fans of TheGreatUnknown Productions YouTube videos use AP to stand for "anti-piracy." The channel specializes in creating custom videos of kill screens for software, gaming consoles, and services.

The videos featuring kill screens may be due to a console overheating or a bug in the game that causes it to crash. Or, they may be due to the detection of pirated content and thus referred to as "anti-piracy," or "ap" for short by the TheGreatUnknown Productions fandom.

People may use "AP" as an acronym for various words, such as "attack power," "Associated Press," or "attached parenting." You can typically tell the intended meaning of the word by the context in which it's used. For example, if you are watching a video produced by TheGreatUnknown Productions and see a comment with "ap" in it, it is most likely referring to anti-piracy.
