WTYAF

What does WTYAF stand for online?

Who threw you a fish?

WTYAF (who threw you a fish) means roughly the same thing as "who invited you?" Netizens use this acronym when a troll or other uninvited party tries to barge in on a conversation, to tell them to get lost.

When a netizen posts WTYAF, they're comparing the person to whom they directed the question with a just-fed seal, who won't stop squawking. This comparison is meant to be a sick diss, which will send the "squawker" looking for a different conversation to interrupt.

Example

Well you failed

Trolls (and seals) don't care whether they were invited
