Phonetic contraction of Aphex Twin, though considered a name in its own right.
AFX is one of Richard D. James' many pseudonyms
Application framework X. A crappy Win16 abstraction API that
eventually became a crappy Win32 abstraction API called MFC.
Commonly used by join-the-dots "programmers" who do
everything using MFC Class Wizard.
MFC salutes its AFX heritage with a load of function names
and .h files prefixed with Afx.
a typical AFX/MFC programmer will be heard asking questions
that demonstrate their total and utter ignorance
of the Win32 API.
e.g. duhh... what's an WNDCLASSEX?
Away from xbox; just like saying afk but for xbox.
Mark: Hey dude stop being afx, your getting the shit sniped out of you!
