What Does ASL Mean on Omegle?
With the anonymous, random platform of Omegle, there's no stopping you from chatting with a complete stranger. You can't pick and choose who you want to chat with, so you might end up talking with someone who uses common chat speak to divulge information about you. One of the more common abbreviations in chat speak is "ASL," which you only need to answer if and when you feel completely comfortable. Keeping up on the latest lingo means you'll know what your Omegle chat person is trying to say.

Omegle is one of a number of chat websites that cater to those who want to talk to complete strangers. ChatRoulette offers the same type of service for video, but Omegle offers the ability to chat via text or video, which helps to reduce "mature" images being displayed on the screen. When chatting via Omegle, you're randomly paired with another stranger and your identity is completely concealed, so it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to share personal information with a stranger.
ASL?
-
The chat term "ASL" on Omegle is an abbreviation for age, sex and location. That means the person you're talking to wants to know more about you personally. It's common to offer your age, sex and location in an abbreviated format, such as "25/f/ca," which would mean a 25-year-old female in California. Just because a person asks you your ASL in Omegle doesn't mean you must divulge any information. Since it's completely anonymous, you could even fake information to further conceal your identity.

Learning some other Omegle chat terms allows you to answer the right questions with as much or as little information as you'd like. From "LOL" for "laughing out loud" to "BRB" for "be right back," chat terms usually use abbreviations to convey a message quickly. They can also be used to purposefully conceal a conversation. For instance, a teen might write "POS" for "parent over shoulder" to stop an unacceptable conversation before her parent sees.
Safe Chatting
-
Because Omegle is so anonymous, it can be easy to let your guard down when chatting with someone. Even if a stranger seems nice and safe, he's still a complete stranger. The term ASL is often used to discern whether or not two chatters are compatible for a conversation, but it can also be a way for predators to locate easy prey. Always keep your identity well guarded and never share personal information on Omegle. If you feel like you've made a connection, use an anonymous email address to take the conversation elsewhere and get to know another person before ever sharing personal information past the basics.
