I've seen some people in Japanese writing the emoticon "orlF". For example:

> というシチュであったかもしれない **orlF** のストーリーという感じです

And I really want to know what it means... xDD. Please help~ ^^'

question
meaning slang
What does orIF mean in the middle of this Japanese sentence?
broccoli forest pretty much answered it in the comments. The sentence example
provided also is fairly self explanatory. It's "or" and "if" not separated by
a space (and for some reason the "I" is a lower case "L"). The "or" really
doesn't need to be there.

"If" by it itself is a common term used in parody short story writing, though
I think it's still slang). It means in English "alternate universe", "parallel
universe", "What-if world". "If" stories can include the introduction of new
characters, different events occurring, characters surviving where they
originally died, and characters swapping genders.

Sometimes the Japanese equivalent 「もしも」 is used. Also, it's commonly attached
to other words to indicate it's referring to an alternate universe as opposed
to the original story: IFストーリー、IFの世界, etc.
