You are talking about acronyms. Instead of saying the word, it is just abbreviated by letters. AWOL means Absent Without Leave. This means, the military person did not get permission from his commanding officer to leave the location. I thought your question was funny. LOL , acronym for Laughing Out Loud.

It's called AWOL. Absent With-Out Leave. They call it that if you run off without taking a "leave" of absence.

its not a wall, its an acronym: AWOL. Sounds like a wall when pronounced. It means Absent With Out Leave (leave being a pass to have time off).
