ITRW is a quick way to refer to real-world events that don't occur online. People typically use ITRW when messaging online (often when gaming) to refer to non-virtual matters or, to tell someone to "snap out of it" or to "wake up" from their digital-induced coma.
For example, a gamer may message you after a match to confess, "i spend most of my time online bc things are too heavy itrw. this is how i cope." Or, your sister may message you, "u need to spend less time gaming and get back itrw where things actually MATTER" (to which you might reply, "yeah, u r right" or "GALMA").
