2. What does the acronym PFP stand for?

Picture for proof

On social media, web forums, and online chat, users may use the acronym PFP to ask for a "picture for proof." PFP is typically used in response to another user's claim, especially if the claim seems far-fetched.

For example, if a user says they met Chris Evans and Benedict Cumberbatch at their local Panera Bread, other users may ask for a PFP. If the user can't provide a PFP, others are unlikely to believe them.
